[Resolved] add repeatable field group to existing form

I have created a front-end submission form for the CPT "Cases".
In this form, I need a repeatable field group. I have created this repeatable field group in an existing Custom Field Group.
It appears in the dashboard when I go to Edit Case.
Now I want to add it in the existing frontend form for submitting a new Case.
But the repeatable field group is not visible under "Post elements" so I can not drag it into the form.

I have also created a new repeatable group.
It appears in the dashboard when I go to Edit Case.
But this group I also cannot insert in the existing submit form.

Documentation that I followed:

Hello, the workflow for adding or editing repeatable field groups (RFGs) is currently separate from the workflow for adding or editing their parent posts. We have documentation regarding this workflow available here: https://toolset.com/course-lesson/front-end-forms-for-repeatable-field-groups/

There currently is no built-in method for including repeatable field groups in a Form that creates or edits their parent post type. That would require a significant amount of custom programming using JavaScript and our PHP APIs for both Forms and Post Relationships. That level of customization falls outside the scope of support offered here in the forums, so we typically recommend following the workflow outlined in the documentation linked above.

Let me know if you have questions about this approach and I'll be glad to help.

Thank you Christian,
My issue is not yet resolved yet. I will need more time to explore the possibilities and limitations of front-end forms.
You may close this topic and maybe I will come back later if I need more assistance.
