I am trying to:
I tried your walkthrough (https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/#1-create-the-form-for-editing) but i do get stucked.
What i did:
1. Edit Form is created
2. Content Template is created with the Edit form
3. Built a view with edit link to the content template with the form on

My Problem is, Number 3: The edit link is directing to the post not to the edit form.

I have some images for you attached.

I found the problem, maybe you can check this, too.

I use elementor pro to built the single Post layout templates.
When i do not use a elementor single template - the link does work and the toolset content template is showing.

So i hope you can fix this bug and help me out.

cheers

Ok i know that a content template does not have to be assigned to the same post type like an elementor template.

but in the content template i do not have any post types assigned like you said in the walkthrough:
https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/#2-create-a-content-template-for-displaying-the-editing-form

i also found a support question to this with a custom code. but i can´t see the code because it is a hidden link.

Hello,

I assume we are talking about the link in this post:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/view-issue/#post-1155349

I copy it here:
hidden link

I suggest you backup your database first, since it will change the data, and you will need to customize line 15~16 in that file:

$affected_post_type = 'page';//edit to the post type affected
$template_id = '12'; // Edit to your content template ID.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
