Tell us what you are trying to do?

I have a site with 3 Relationships. I want the user to select not just the parent selector but also their child department and for them to be linked like they are on the backend. (staff member name-->edit form inside toolset)

I recognize that these are many-to-many relationships.

Is there any documentation that you are following?

I couldn't find really good documentation that explained why Toolset Forms works the way it does in terms of the relationship fields. (only having parent selector.)
Is there a similar example that we can see?
I have two post forms on my site, one for editing and one for creating a staff member. I would also like to be able to easily give people access to their own post, through ownership as part of the creation process, so they can edit it later. The authorship part is working, but how they edit it is something I would appreciate advice about.
What is the link to your site?

You could follow this DOC:
https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-build-front-end-forms-for-connecting-posts/

Toolset will allow you selecting a Parent in a (many) Child Post, or create a new Child Post to a given parent when using Post Forms, or connect 2 existing posts in one strike when using Relationship Forms.

Please let us know if this helps you.

To edit relationships you would use Relationship Forms as well, in edit mode.

Single posts instead are created and edited by Post Forms.

I want to use relationship forms, but I want to use relationship forms with other CRED fields for the child post form.

Does that make sense in terms of workflow?

Hi Timothy,

I checked on your workflow and no its not possible because its actually 2 separate forms.

So you wouldn't be able to use both at the same time.

Thanks,
Shane

I found a broken link on your site relating to CRED Forms. https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/inserting-generic-fields-into-forms/

Visit this tutorial -- this tutorial is supposed to be a link near the bottom of the page taking me to a tutorial on how to use a generic field checkbox with conditional groups. Can you tell me where I may access this tutorial?

Thank you so much.

I created a relationship form. What's the best way for it to use the same post as the one created by the post form proceeding it?

ex: I create a profile with my name on it. I set the form to redirect to the relationship form so that the relationship can be set after the post is created. I have staff members-->department as my relationship. I could also do staff member-->department-->parent department if that's possible.
