The challenge is that I want to automatically include in this form the Listing ID of the machine that the user is interested in, so that when I receive the email request for more info I know what's the machine the user is refering to. The machine listing ID is in another CPT called "Equipments". Can I do this with Toolset?
Hi, it sounds like you have a CPT "Equipments" that includes the Listing ID information you need, and you want to include that Listing ID information in a Form that creates "Contact" CPT posts. Assuming the Form to create Contact posts is displayed in the template for Equipment posts, and Listing ID is a custom field in Equipment posts, you have access to that custom field with a shortcode like this somewhere in your Form:
[types field="listing-id-field-slug" item="$current_page"][/types]
That would give you the Listing ID from the current Equipment post. Let's say your Contact post type has its own custom field to store the ID of the item the site visitor is interested in. In the Form that creates Contact posts, you could automatically set that custom field value by adding the shortcode I included above as the field's default value. See the screenshot here for a similar example of the default option set by a shortcode.
So that would store the listing ID from the current Equipment post in the new Contact post created by Forms. Would that give you the information you need, or am I misunderstanding the setup and requirement here?
