This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I have created a Content Template and placed my edit post Form in the Content Template, but the edit post link doesn't appear in my View of posts. I'm also seeing an error that I need to create a Layout that holds my Form.
Solution: If you have activated Toolset Layouts, you must follow the instructions specific to Layouts and insert the Form using a Form cell. You should not create a Content Template for this purpose if using Layouts.

I want to show edit link in the list of custom posts. I have read this https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/#editing-items-in-list but for some reason things don't work quite the way the documentation suggests.
So, I have created the edit form and edit content template and also the layout (because of the dialogue I keep getting).
I try to add the edit link in the view where I want them and I have 2 possibilities (I try to add it into the "Templates to this View"):
1. add it with "Toolset Forms" button -> Other Toolset Forms actions/Edit post link -> I get the "Create a new Layout that will include the editing form. You can start from scratch..." dialogue which leads me to nowhere. You see if I click the "See all available layouts..." I end up editing the layout (it is there, yes), because I can't choose it in any way.
2. add it with "Fields and Views" button -> Standard WordPress Fields/Post edit link ->Post selection/The current post being displayed either directly or in a View loop -> I get this shortcode [wpv-post-edit-link] which does nothing. No editing link in frontend.
So, what might I be doing wrong?
EDIT: FYI I do get the post deletion link with method 1.
