[Resolved] CRED Repeating Field Groups

Hi,

I am trying to create a frontend New content submission form for custom post type which has a repeating field group.

I would like to create it in one shot.
Right now I can create a form for creating the custom post type, and I can create a form for the repeating field group.

Problem is that the user is only supposed to modify his/her own posts. The form I had to create for the repeating field group is not only confusing, since they have to select the parent post, but it shows the user all the posts, even the ones that are not their own.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - Toolset manages the repeating fields group as a child posts where you can associate each child post with a parent post using CRED.

If you want to display the owner parent posts only - you need to write bit custom code and you can find complete guide with the following reply:

I was referring to this: https://toolset.com/2018/02/types-views-and-cred-betas-with-post-relationships-and-repeating-field-groups/

Where in the title it is specified that "We’re proud to hit another milestone in our journey for post relationship in Toolset. Today’s beta release includes Types, Views and CRED with support for post relationship and repeating field groups." This means CRED has support for repeating field groups.

The current means for using repeating fields on the frontend renders it useless. You guys made the backend a lot easier to manage, but the frontend also needs to be simple to manage. Right now it makes no sense.

I am allowing a user to add a resume. The resume has a repeating field group called education. Based on what you are saying he can alter the education of any other resume, despite him not having the ability to edit other users posts as set in the backend (the dropdown in the CRED form shows him all resumes in the database). This is a bug and I am hoping it gets fixed.

I was hoping to see if you guys have an ETA for proper support in CRED for repeating field groups.

Well - I do not have any ETA on it but you may expect this fully implemented and stable release within couple of months from now or may be sooner than that as well.

In the meantime, I am trying to embed a cred form on a parent post in order to add child post. But instead of having to select the parent on the form, I want the parent post to already be selected so the user doesn't have the option of selecting a parent post on their own.

Well - As per our support policy we entertain only one question per ticket.

May I kindly ask you to open a new ticket for your each new question. This will help other users searching on the forum.

Thank you for understanding.

Thank you for wasting my time. I will open a new ticket and request another agent.
