[Resolved] Default cred_field value in cred form – Taxonomy

Hello,

I have 2 different user roles (Artiste and Author) and both can create the same custom post type "song".
I have two different CRED Forms allowing users to create songs, one for the Artistes and the other for the Author.

I would like to be able to add a hidden taxonomy field in order to differenciate the posts"song" created by Author and the posts "song created by "artists".

Basically, I would like to add a hidden field like this but with a preselected value such as default="taxonomy-meta" :

 <div style="display: none;">
[cred_field field='taxonomy-slug' force_type='taxonomy' output='bootstrap' display='select' single_select='true']
   </div>

Is it possible ?

Thank you in advance for your help.

It's not possible to set a default taxonomy (note the description of the 'value' attribute of the cred_field shortcode which can be used to set default values: https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/front-end-forms/cred-shortcodes/#cred_field).

If it was a custom field you could set a default value.

But for a taxonomy you would need to use the API and apply the taxonomy term after the form was submitted and the post saved, i.e. use the cred_save_data hook: https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data

You could use that to apply a taxomomy to the new post (you have the post ID) depending on the role of the current user.
