This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to modify the roles associated with a new User when a Form is submitted.
Solution:
Use the cred_save_data API to modify the User's roles.
add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);
function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==290)
{
$current_user_id = $post_id;
$current_user_data = get_userdata( $post_id );
$oldroles = $current_user_data->roles; //here should be just one, as it is the first time you edit this user and it is only one-role
if( !is_array($oldroles) ) {
$oldroles = array($oldroles);
}
//Add new role after you remove old role
$u = new WP_User( $post_id );
foreach( $oldroles as $oldrole ) {
$u->remove_role( $oldrole );
}
$newrole = $_REQUEST['user_select_role'];
$u->add_role( $newrole );
}
}

1- I have cred form for creating new users with generic field for choosing specific role of the new user
Generic field in this form:
[cred_generic_field field='user_select_role' type='radio' class='' urlparam='']
{
"required":0,
"validate_format":0,
"default":["shop_manager"],
"options":[
{"value":"editor","label":"editor"},
{"value":"shop_manager","label":"Shop Manager"}
]
}
[/cred_generic_field]
2- Everytime a new user created with this form, the actual Role "contributor" get deleted and the selected role will be assigned to that user.
code
// Modify new user role based on custom field selection in CRED
add_action('cred_save_data', 'cred_update_user_role_action',10,2);
function cred_update_user_role_action($user_id, $form_data) {
//create an array of values with all ID's of the Forms you want to check:
$ids = array("232");
//Check if the current form ID is one of in the above array:
if (in_array($form_data['id'], $ids) ){
// modify the user role to match the selected option
$role = $_REQUEST['user_select_role'];
$u = new WP_User( $user_id );
$u->remove_role( 'contributor' );
$u->add_role( $role );
}
}
now i have added a form for editing users that can be accessed by Administrator and Editor. in This form i have added the above generic field and in the code snippet i have added the Edit Users form ID 290 like following:
// Modify new user role based on custom field selection in CRED
add_action('cred_save_data', 'cred_update_user_role_action',10,2);
function cred_update_user_role_action($user_id, $form_data) {
//create an array of values with all ID's of the Forms you want to check:
$ids = array("232","290");
//Check if the current form ID is one of in the above array:
if (in_array($form_data['id'], $ids) ){
// modify the user role to match the selected option
$role = $_REQUEST['user_select_role'];
$u = new WP_User( $user_id );
$u->remove_role( 'contributor' );
$u->add_role( $role );
}
}
now when I edit any user and change his Role to a different one for example from Editor to Shop Manager.. then i can see in the backend that this user is now Editor, Shop Manager.
This happens because in my code Snippet we order to remove the role contributor only and keep the new one.
Now how can i edit the user role and delete the current one, not only contributor?
