Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Can you please clarify are you using Toolset form to create a form using the custom fields created using Types plugin or you want to use the custom field created using Types with forms created using bbpress?

The site flow you are talking about is still not clear to me. Can you please share where exactly you are using the custom fields created using Types? If you are using bbpress form then you need to find bbpress hook and assign the default value to the custom field when you submit the form.

If you are using Toolset form then you can use the Toolset form's hook: cred_save_data

Yes - I can see that you have 4 forums created and now when you try to submit the post it should be attached to the specific forum you want.

If you can share access details and the problem URL of the form where you added the form I can check how the forum dropdown is displayed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.
