Tell us what you are trying to do?
The Front end user edit form is made of two parts: one for editing "A" and one for editing the relationships between "A" and "B" - This means there are two submit buttons. This is a bit confusing. Is there another way to do this - for front end editing?

The image I attached has the bottom part of the edit of "A" - the vendor. With a submit button. The attendance (relationship form between vendors and farmers markets follow) with it's own submit button.

Please advise - can there be only one submit button? etc.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - Edit post forms (used to edit a single post) and post-relationship forms (used to connect the posts) both are different entities. You can not combine them into one form as this is not how post-relationship forms work.

Please check the below Doc to see how post-relationship forms works:
=> https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-build-front-end-forms-for-connecting-posts/

And here is the Doc how post edit forms works:

I'm reading the documentation again.
I would like to tie it into Elementor template - not sure if the documentation includes this.

Also how to you delete an existing relationship between A an B.

(It's much more intuitive on the back end)

Also how to you delete an existing relationship between A an B.
==> Well - to disconnect the posts you can use the post-relationship API function: toolset_disconnect_posts
- https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/#toolset_disconnect_posts

But I would like to know at what point and using which form you want to delete an existing relationship between A and B?

Can you please check the following video that may help you as well:

Questions:

1: The Vendor has attends three farmers markets ( x, y, z). How does the vendor on the front end, change his/her farmers markets to (x, z), that is, how does the vendor on the front end remove the "y" farmers market?

2: I've been following the documentation " Editing Existing Connections Between Related Posts" - I have set up a many to many relationship between farmers markets and vendors. I'm editing the content template, and adding the Toolset Form. It says to select the "create an 'editing-mode' template for managing songs appearing on an album. " When I try to do this step - I can't select this option. What should I do next?

[Minesh]

Well - can you please share access details and problem URL and which relationshp form you created?

*** 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.

Ok - thank you for sharing access details. I checked you created the Edit relationship form: Edit Attendances

But to disconnect the posts there is no way for now as post-relationship API feature still needs to be implemented and its set to release with the Tooslet Forms version 2.5 in near future, there is no ETA on it as by today or tomorrow we set to release the BETA version for Toolset forms version 2.4.

Now, I would like to know where exactly you want to display your relationship form? on which post/poge?

[mindyB]

1. You mean I have to edit from back end when a vendor says they're not related to a certain market?

2. Using the elementor templates - they are listed as published.... and can be found there.

[Minesh]

Ok - after looking more closely, with many to many relationships we do have a shortcode to delete the relationship.

I've created the view "display-related-posts-for-vendors":
=> hidden link

I've added the above view just after the "Attendances" on single post template of "Vendors":
=> hidden link

As you can see we able to display edit link as well as delete link.
