I have a custom post type that may be created from a form which is displayed on pages or other posts.

I would like to save the title of the new post that is being created in a variable that I use to log some events.

Is it possible to use somehow types_render_field(..); ?

get_the_title(..); -- seems to only return the title of the page / post where the form is located.

Any suggestion on how I could do this?

You are using the Forms API, a hook such as cred_save_data to trigger your code?

If so then you have the post id of the created post available, see https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data

So you can use get_post to retrieve the post object, and its title is then available as $post->post_title, see https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_post/

Sorry for the noob question. I was just trying to send a message when validating a post - wanted to record the post name and it can be easily done with $fields['post_title']['value']. My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
