Hi,

I have a CPT called "company" and there is button leading to page with CRED form for creation child CPT with [cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_company_id'...] Is it possible to have it prefilled based on previous parent CPT page?

Hi Dave,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Hi Shane,

thanks for the link. I took a look on it and I decided to make a change and it would be also more user friendly to have the CRED form on parent page. But now the problem is quite similar. How to automatically fill [cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_company_id'...] with the current company on which page is CRED form displayed.

I tried this code, but it will add the new company with same name, but not select the already existing one:

[cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_company_id' select_text='[wpv-post-title]' ]

Hi Dave,

Try doing this.

[cred_field field='_wpcf_belongs_company_id'  value='[wpv-post-id]' ]

Please let me know if the company is now selected.

Thanks,
Shane
