This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
How can we add a link to edit the currently displayed Post, in a Template Layout, so that when clicked, the Toolset Form to edit this post is shown?
Solution:
You can create a Toolset form and insert it into a new Layout.
Do not assign this Layout to any content.
Then edit the Layout for the single posts where you want the Edit Link to appear.
Insert a "Edit Post Link" using a Visual Editor Cell.
When inserting this link the GUI will ask you to set the Layout which shows the form, where you can choose the layout you created in the first step.
This will now produce a link on the single posts which leads to the edit form for each post.

It doesn't seem you have yet created a Toolset Layout (unassigned) with the actual Toolset Form to edit those posts, right?
I cannot see any here hidden link > Unassigned Layouts.
Hence, you'd have to follow the message's suggestion and create such layout with the Form in it.
This one here is only talking about Content Templates https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/ - it's not mentioning Toolset Layouts.
With layouts, you'd follow this DOC instead https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/building-forms-for-editing-when-using-layouts/
I created such example layout for you here hidden link
You can now use this Layout to link to, in your other Layouts edit link (see screenshot)
I have a question.
The Button's Labels, when you insert the Toolset Form Edit Link, are translated to Spanish, but to me, it seems totally wrong.
Those buttons say:
"Crear enlace de entrada inferior"
"Editar enlace de entrada"
"Eliminar enlace de entrada"
"Editar enlace de usuario"
If you agree that's wrong, and should correct, can you help me find the best version in Spanish?
Right now, the button's labels seem to say that you can actually edit the edit link, which is not what happens, instead, you insert a link to an edit form.
Or when it says "Crear enlace de entrada inferior" , I assume "inferior" is totally out of context here, by the bit of Spanish I understand.
I would like to report that to the Developers for changes if you can help me find the best names I am happy to forward these, since you will likely have a better understanding of Spanish than me 😀
