I am using my themes standard built in template for posts.

I am using a front end submission form to simplify things and control access.

I want to take advantage of "Post Formats" [built into my themes template] but I can not find a way to assign post format from a CRED form.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - what post format you are talking here about? where exactly and how you want to use those?

Can you share few screenshots that will help me to understand your request?

Well - there is no such feature available but I think you should add Generic field and pass your custom post format values:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/inserting-generic-fields-into-forms/

And later try to use the Toolset Forms hook cred_save_data to set the desired post format using WordPress standard function set_post_format
