Ref: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/create-a-form-to-be-sent-to-another-user-subscriber/

Hello,

I am making a form to norify another user (subcriber) for a new lead.
After receiving help on this, I managed to build the form, select the user and make a view with the result.

Now I placed an edit link after each row to edit the post.

When editing the post, the link goes to the backend but I would like to refer the link to a frontend. Is that possible?
And is it also possible that not all fields can be modified during this edit but only some specific?

I use in a Post Form a user-select option to redirect the form to another user:

[cred_generic_field type='select' field='user-select']
{
"required":1,
"options":[ [wpv-view name="user-list"] ],
"generic_type":"user_id",
"persist":1
}

How can I add in the email notification as a text field the selected user.
I can do this in the header, so the user will get an email notification but I want to enclude it also as a text field, or a header (to)

For example; Dear [selected user in the form]

Hi Simon,

Thank you for contacting our support forum, I must apologize for the delay in response as this was assigned to Diego's queue.

I was only able to answer today.

However to add the edit link to your view items you will need to follow the instructions below.
https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/

I will be splitting your second issue into another ticket so we can handle there.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi, with the tutorial I managed to have it working now but I get a bit lost with views, forms, layouts and so on.
Is there a tutorial (visual) to see and understand how all different parts are related?
