Hi,
Is it possible to nest forms? I have forms that frontend posts to a lot of custom fields. Complex form. I am wondering if I can make multiple forms that edits to the same unique custom posttype?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Do you mean that you want to split the one form into multi-step form? If yes, there is no native feature available but you can workaround it by creating multiple forms and using the Toolset forms hooks.

Where you need to create a Toolset edit form for each of the step excluding the first step. So, for instance if you want to have 3 step form, you should create a form to add a content for the first step and create edit form for the step 2nd and 3rd.
