This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I am trying to insert an Edit Post Link shortcode inside the loop of a View, but I keep seeing an error message "Create a new Layout that will include the editing form. You can start from scratch or copy the template you use to display the content and modify it."
Solution: When using Toolset Layouts, it's best to place the Form in a Layout using a Forms cell rather than a Visual Editor cell.

Tell us what you are trying to do? Add an EDIT POST LINK shortcode to a View Loop of User's Posts
Is there any documentation that you are following? Tried numerous and read dozens of forum posts
Is there a similar example that we can see? Not certain.
What is the link to your site? hidden link

I have created a form (screenshot1.jpg). I then created a layout where in inserted the form (screenshot2.jpg). I then created a page and added the template to the page (screenshot3.jpg). I then created a View, with a loop showing clubs belonging to the logged in user. I'm trying to add the EDIT POST LINK to this loop where shown (screenshot4.jpg), by clicking on Toolset Forms > Edit Post Link (screenshot5.jpg). I always get the message shown in (screenshot6.jpg).
Am I missing something?
I tried following the steps here: https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/
