I am trying to: follow https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/

Link to a page where the issue can be seen: I need to supply this hidden since it's an edit form

I expected to see/Instead, I got: I have added an edit link in a view displaying all posts which appears to work but all I see on the edit page is the post title and the fields are all empty.

On testing the edit page is adding a new post when I submit.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

That is really strange. Can you please share access details and problem URL where I can see the issue.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

I do not know how you waned to build the view and added the edit form link and for which post type.

Can you please just create basic setup, view and edit form and display it as required and send me problem URL so I can look into that and check whats going wrong with your setup.

hidden link

I've tried to recreate what I had at first but now am getting just the post title.

Following https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/ I get instruction to create a Layout which is not as described in that documentation.

It asks me for password to access, I already loggedin to wp-admin, what password I need to use?
