// Tell us what you are trying to do?

The comment section in a wordpress blog post functions like what I am about to achieve.
I want to let logged in users leave post reviews using a post form. This shall function similarly to comments where each comment is attached to a certain post after it has been submitted by a page visitor.

Problem:
I created a post type called "reviews" and a post type called "services". Now I want to let users post a review for each service post that exists on my website. But how to achieve this connection through a post form? Normally I would say the post id of the service post has to be saved in a custom field of the review post form. But how to achieve that using Toolset? Or is there a better solution for this problem?

// Is there any documentation that you are following?

I have read the following documenation and it seems to be what I am looking for, but to create a child post link didn't work because I am working with oxygenbuilder templates and that is where the review form should be placed at the end.

Hi,

Thank you for contacting us and I'd be happy to assist.

You can create a one-to-many relationship between the "services" and "reviews" post type to be able to link one "service" post to many "reviews" posts.
( ref: https://toolset.com/lesson-placement/lesson-placements-1729031-1727251/ )

After that, you'll create a form to "add a new review" post, that will include a field to select the parent "service" post. In that field's default value, you can use the current post ID shortcode "[wpv-post-id]", so that the current "service" post is preselected in that field.
( ref: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/views/views-shortcodes/#wpv-post-id )

Once the form is ready, you can place it in the template used for the single "service" post page, and users will be able to post reviews for individual services.

I hope this helps and please let me know if you need any further assistance around this.

regards,
Waqar
