The issue here is that the user had a child form on another post that doesn't have any relationship to the page. However the user wanted to auto populate the parent.

In this case the user is only allowed to create 1 parent type and as such we can use this custom shortcode to retrieve the parent information from the logged in user.\n<code>\nfunction wp_get_my_cv() {\n\n$args = array(\n\'author\' => get_current_user_id(),\n\'orderby\' => \'post_date\',\n\'order\' => \'ASC\',\n\'posts_per_page\' => 1,\n\'post_type\' => \'lebenslauf\'\n);\n$my_posts = get_posts($args);\n$id = \'\';\nforeach( $my_posts as $post){\n$id = $post->ID;\n}\n\nreturn $id;\n\n}\nadd_shortcode( \'wp_get_my_cv\', \'wp_get_my_cv\' );\n</code>\n\nSo add this to your Toolset Custom Code section in Toolset -> Settings.\n\nFinally this shortcode can be used in the value attribute by doing this value=\'[wp_get_my_cv]\'
