[Resolved] How to select a layout for a post in the front-end (CRED)?

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

Problem:
I have a CRED form to create posts, So far I have created one layout to display said posts.
I would like to create several layouts and allow the post author to select one within the CRED form.
Is it possible?

Solution:
I am afraid that is not possible using builtin features of Toolset.

This may be possible using custom coding & custom development and it is out of support policy (https://toolset.com/toolset-support-policy/). So we recommend to contact Toolset recommended service providers to further discuss the custom approach. We have some recommended list of service providers here if you would like to take a look: https://toolset.com/contractors/

Tell us what you are trying to do?
I'd like a post author to be able to select a particular (predefined) Toolset layout when creating/editing a post via a CRED form.
Thanks for your help.

Hi Bruno,

Thank you for contacting Toolset support. You can use CRED Post Form cell in Layouts. Here are related docs:

Thank you

Hi Noman,

Thanks for the directions; however my question was the other way around. Here are more details:
I have a CRED form to create posts;
So far, I have created one layout to display said posts
I would like to create several layouts and allow the post author to select one within the CRED form.
Is it possible?
About that, I also wonder as when assigning a layout to a post all other layouts are deactivated. So is it possible to specify display layouts per post?
Thanks.
