Dear Sir/Madam,

I have a form containing parent and child relationships, below is the field I link to the parent

<div class="form-group parent">
	<label for="%%FORM_ID%%_@application-contestant.parent"></label>
	[cred_field field='@application-contestant.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' select_text='--- not set ---' required='true']
</div>

How I get the parent id when saving the form data, I want to rename the post title as Application XXX ( YYYY ) while XXX is the parent post id and YYY is current post id.

function my_save_data_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
if ( $form_data['id'] == 2571 ) {
        $parent_id = ???????;
        wp_update_post( array(
        'ID' => $post_id,
        'post_name' => $post_id,
        'post_title' => sprintf("%s - %s (%s)", 'Application', $parent_id, $post_id)
        ));
    }
}
add_action('cred_save_data', 'my_save_data_action',10,2);

Hi Kelvin,

To get the Parent ID from the form you can try doing this.

$_POST["application-contestant_parent"]

If that doesn't work try this one below.

$_POST["application-contestant-parent"]

Thanks,
Shane

Sorry both not work

Hi Kelvin,

Would you mind providing me with a link to the page where the form is so that I can check the payload of the Post request to get the correct field name.

Thanks,
Shane

You have to login with specific role

As this is not private message, could you remove this after testing?

Hi Kelvin,

You're setting the parent based on a parameter in the URL correct.

If so then you can simply do this.

$_GET["parent_vwcm-application_id"]

This will get the parent ID for you from the URL.

Thanks,
Shane
