I have a post type with a "token" text field.
I want users to be able to edit this post type - but only if they type the correct token value.

In at CRED post edit form i have added a generic field "write_token" that is validated against the "token" field.

This only works when the "token" field is printet in the form. How can I validate my "write_token" form field against "token" field without exposing the "token" field in the form?

Dear jonas,

There is a built-in SPAM Protection feature within CRED form:
See our document:
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/creating-cred-forms/
section "Built-in SPAM Protection for Forms"

If you still need the custom "token" text field, it needs some custom codes, I suggest you try with the CRED filter hook:
cred_form_validate
