The simplest and safest it, remove the shortcode from the form. As long you use this approach to create your Child posts with CRED, the parent will stil be set:

I have a CRED that creates an inspection. The inspection is a child of its parent.
I believe when I initially created the CRED I used the "Auto Generate Form" feature.
So, part of the form has :
Belongs to [cred_field field="_wpcf_belongs_apron_id" value="[wpv-post-id id='$parent']"]
The issue that I have with that is :
1. It is not a fixed text field. It is displaying a dropdown on the frontend page which shows every one of the Parent posts. That shouldn't be. In the way it exists now a user could change what parent it is assigned to, which of course, would not be good.
2. Can I remove that code entirely and still have this child post know which parent created it?
or, is there a way to make this a fixed field and not a drop down? At least in that way, I could still include it but just hide it on the page with css "display: none".
Screenshot attached.
1. It is not a fixed text field. It is displaying a drop-down on the front-end page which shows every one of the Parent posts.
This is by design.
You area able to choose the parent from the list of already created parents, just as in the WordPress backend
2. That shouldn't be. In the way it exists now a user could change what parent it is assigned to, which of course, would not be good.
You can either remove the field from your CRED form, hide it with CSS (wrap in a <div hidden>) or use a custom CRED validation API code to check the parent on submission, but that would be definite overkill:

You can also choose how many parent Posts to display in that DropDown:

3. Yes you can remove it, as long you use this approach to create your Child posts with CRED:
