Hi,
I have create a Post Type called Surveys.
I've created also a custom fields group and set this group to "survey" post type.
If I try to create a new Survey from admin dashbord, I can see all the custom fields and I can create a survey.
But, the survey, have to be create by users, so I need to create a form. As always, I install CRED frontend editor plugin, but when I create a new module, I'm not able to see the custom fields and the "Auto-generated form" button is not showing.

I need to install other plugin? Or some has changed with the new version of Types?

I'm using those version of wordpress and plugin:

Wordpress: 5.2.3
Types: 3.3.5
Views: 2.9.1
Forms: 2.5

If it is useful, I'm using JupiterX theme 1.6.0

The interface changed a lot since "Auto-generated form" was in use.

Now, if you install Toolset Forms on a fresh/new install you'd have the classic wizard of Toolset Forms (which can be turned off in Toolest > Settings > Forms), guiding you through the form creation.

The Form itself now uses a drag and drop editor based on block-like elements, mostly pre-populated, where you can add or remove blocks from the form using drag and drop or trash/add clicks.

You have the option to switch to Expert editor, where the Drag and Drop will be disabled and old, classic HTML editors, populated with ShortCodes, will appear.

The expert editor does not feature an autogenerate button anymore.
Natively through the Drag and Drop is enabled on every form. So as soon you create a new form and switch to expert, the basic markup is there.
It cannot be regenerated though, as it could be done before the updates.

I see in your form, that you switched to expert editing.
I can confirm the minimal markup is there, which we also elaborate here:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-shortcodes/:

[credform][/credform]: renders a post form
[creduserform][/creduserform]: renders a user form
[cred_field field='form_messages']: renders the message containers
[cred_field field='form_submit' value='Submit']: renders the submit button

You can now either add Form fields and edit the form with Custom HTML, or create a new form to use the Drag and Drop builder, or switch back on that same form to the drag and drop builder, (by clicking on "expert mode").
it will, however, remove the changes you made to the form.

Please let me know if there are any doubts about the workflow!
