Hi -
I've created a front end form for my users to enter CPT data, and I've created a front end form for my users to edit a previously entered CPT. I see how to select the specific post to edit on the backend (while inserting the edit form in a page using Elementor). But I don't see how a user of the front end edit form would be able to select which CPT record they want to edit. What am I missing.

Hi Gavin

Normally you would display a link to edit a post on the front end next to the post itself.

So if you were looking at a single book post, the template for book posts would include an "Edit this book" link.

Or if you were displaying a list of posts you could display an edit link next to each item in the list.

That is described here: https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-editing/

Is there something I'm missing?
