Hello,

I have a job listing website with a form to apply for a specific job. I created a "Jobs" CTP and then created a child CPT "Job Applications". To get to the application I have followed instructions to add the [cred_child_link_form form="258" parent_id="-1" text="Apply Now" target="_self"] which works fine to get to the application.

My issue here and I am not sure how to accomplish this, is that I need to display the custom taxonomy of the State the job is being apply in and the Title of the job. Somehow need to display these fields in the submitted form dynamically from the Job parent post.

Currently I see the post relationship displayed in the created job application post but I need to display this info as a field.

This way the admin can see the job applications and which state and job they applied for in the WP admin and via email.

Thank you for any help you can provide.
