Problem:
How to use custom fields from 3rd-party plugins in CRED forms
Solution:
Use generic fields with the same slug. If you need the value of the field to be saved to the database, add the option "persist":1

I am trying to: Add user-meta fields by 3rd party plugin which are stored in wordpress db as to metafields (screen 1) - cjl_birthday and cjl_birthmonth (both are numbers from 1-31 or 1-12 respectively). I need user updates them by CRED form.
For some reasons I can't see them in Toolset>Settings>Front-End Content> Hidden Custom Value (screen3).
I've tried to add them with shortcodes (screen 2 ) no luck.
my CRDE frm looks like this ('your-bdate' field works fine via User Fields settings, problem is with cjl* fields):
[creduserform class='cred-user-form cred-keep-original'] [cred_field field='form_messages' value='' class='alert alert-warning'] <div class="form-group"> <label>Дата Вашего рождения</label> [cred_field field='your-bdate' post='user' value='' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']</div> [types usermeta="cjl_birthday"][/types] [types usermeta="cjl_birthmonth"][/types] [cred_field usermeta="cjl_birthday"] [cred_field usermeta="cjl_birthmonth"] [cred_field field='form_submit' value='Сохранить' urlparam='' class='btn btn-primary btn-lg' output='bootstrap'] [/creduserform]
