Problem:
How can we update automatically the title or other content of a post related to the one we are currently editing in a Form so that the data of the currently edited Form is updated to the related Post(s), automatically, when we submit the Form?
Solution:
This is possible with Toolset Forms' API.
When working with Forms that both set a relationship to other posts, and the data of these edited posts should be used to then update the content of the related post, you should use the cred_submit_complete hook of Toolset Forms API.
In the hooks function, you should determine the related posts using the Toolset Relationships API.
Then, with the WordPress core method wp_update_post() you can update the related posts with content from the currently edited post.
A good example can be found here:
