I am trying to: Create a form for front end data entry of tour information (parent), and also show on that form related child information to add - tour dates which there are multiple and tour itinerary days which there are also multiple. Tour dates and Itinerary are both children of Tours. So when the data entry is complete there will be a tour with all tour dates and full itinerary.

I also need to make sure that the child forms allow for multiple entries of the fields - and should appear with the 'add another' option.

I am not too technical and I just cannot figure out how to do this. Is there a step by step guide? I have reviewed https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/cred-forms-for-child-content/ but still don't get it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Danielle

Dear Danielle,

I assume you are going to create the parent post and child posts within same CRED form, unfortunately, there isn't such a build-in feature within CRED, and according to W3C document, HTML form insider form is not allowed:

So it is not possible within CRED, I suggest you check out our certified partners for it:

Ok, thanks Luoy. I will try a work around with buttons to point to other forms. Can you tell me if I have a fields that can have multiple entries, how I activate that on the form?

Yes, it is possible with Types + CRED,
1) create a custom multiple instance field with Types plugin
Repeating Fields
https://toolset.com/documentation/user-guides/repeating-fields/

2) Create a CRED form with above custom field, you will be able to get field that can have multiple entries
