[Resolved] How do I Populate a Post Excerpt in a custom post created in toolset?

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:

Add excerpt to toolset forms.

Solution:

The excerpt field should get automatically added to the form. Does your CPT have the post excerpt field enabled ?

If not then you need to go to Toolset-> Post Types -> Edit your CPT and then scroll to Options and ensure that the Post Excerpt box is checked.

Tell us what you are trying to do?
Populate a Post Excerpt in a custom post created in toolset. Is there anyway for me to enable a user to enter the information for a Post Excerpt either via toolset form and then for that excerpt value to be available in a toolset view and custom template?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hi Paul,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

The excerpt field should get automatically added to the form. Does your CPT have the post excerpt field enabled ?

If not then you need to go to Toolset-> Post Types -> Edit your CPT and then scroll to Options and ensure that the Post Excerpt box is checked.

Finally to add the field just click on Add Post field on your Form and add it. See Screenshot.

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
