This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem:
The user has a form that creates a post and asks if he can implement a recurring post feature. For example, create a post for a user that has date times set for every Monday until next month
Solution:
First of all, note that a Toolset form is meant to create or edit only ONE post. To be able to create multiple posts, you will need to create custom code hooked to the cred_save_data action, that will create the additional posts.
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data
To pass data from the form to your action function, you can use generic fields.
Now, it is a matter of how you intend to do it. You may want to calculate the additional posts' arrival and departure dates/times on the frontend with Javascript, and pass them to the action function.
Or you may want to pass the rule(every week until a certain date) and calculate the date on the server end inside your action function.
Then you can create additional posts with the wp_insert_post function. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_insert_post/
And update the post custom fields values with the update_post_meta function. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_post_meta/
Note that you will need to refix your fields with "wpcf-". Check the first section of this page https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/functions/
This is the technical support forum for Toolset - a suite of plugins for developing WordPress sites without writing PHP.
Everyone can read this forum, but only Toolset clients can post in it. Toolset support works 6 days per week, 19 hours per day.
