I am trying to: I can insert and update post/postmeta/user/usermeta. BUT can not get it to work to insert into meta_key wpcf-tilknytning in wp_postmeta the meta_value from wp_usermeta meta_key wpcf-tilknyttetafdeling

$user = get_user_by( 'id', $post_id);
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$post = array(
		    'post_title'    => $user->first_name . $user->last_name,
		    'post_type'    => 'medarbejder',
		    'post_content'  => 'Info om medarbejder '. $post_id,
		    'post_status'   => 'publish',
		    'post_author'   => $post_id,
		    'post_parent'	=> $user_id,
		    'comment_status' => 'closed',
		    'ping_status' => 'closed',
		    'meta_input'   => array(
        		'_wp_page_template' => 'default',
        		'_wp_old_date' => '2018-12-04',
        		'wpcf-tilknytning' => $user->wpcf-tilknyttetafdeling,   //THE PROBLEM
    			),
		    'post_category' => array( 3)
		);
		// Insert my_post i database.
		wp_insert_post( $post );

Link to a page where the issue can be seen:
page is role restricted
I expected to see:
wp_postmeta meta_key 'wpcf-tilknytning' with a value lets say 2
Instead, I got: 0

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - as I understand, you are looking to get the user meta value for user meta field "tilknyttetafdeling" and wanted to assign it to 'wpcf-tilknytning' field. If yes, could you please try the following code and try to resolve your issue:

$user = get_user_by( 'id', $post_id);
$user_id = get_current_user_id();
$post = array(
            'post_title'    => $user->first_name . $user->last_name,
            'post_type'    => 'medarbejder',
            'post_content'  => 'Info om medarbejder '. $post_id,
            'post_status'   => 'publish',
            'post_author'   => $post_id,
            'post_parent'   => $user_id,
            'comment_status' => 'closed',
            'ping_status' => 'closed',
            'meta_input'   => array(
                '_wp_page_template' => 'default',
                '_wp_old_date' => '2018-12-04',
                'wpcf-tilknytning' => get_user_meta($user_id,'wpcf-tilknyttetafdeling',true),   //THE PROBLEM
                ),
            'post_category' => array( 3)
        );
        // Insert my_post i database.
        wp_insert_post( $post );

Maybe the right way, but now i get 1 in meta_value field, so i think you solved my problem.
Do you know if cred_save_data is not saving meta_post before and thats the problem why the value now are 1?

add_action('cred_save_data', 'after_save_data_for_form',30,2);
function after_save_data_for_form($post_id, $form_data)
{
    //some code here
    switch($form_data['id']) {
    case "something":
        // ...
        break;
    case 450:
    	global $wpdb;
    	//get user
    	$user = get_user_by( 'id', $post_id);
		$user_id = get_current_user_id();
		$post = array(
            'post_title'    => $user->first_name . $user->last_name,
            'post_type'    => 'medarbejder',
            'post_content'  => 'Info om medarbejder '. $post_id,
            'post_status'   => 'publish',
            'post_author'   => $post_id,
            'post_parent'   => $user_id,
            'comment_status' => 'closed',
            'ping_status' => 'closed',
            'meta_input'   => array(
                '_wp_page_template' => 'default',
                '_wp_old_date' => '2018-12-04',
                'wpcf-tilknytning' => get_user_meta($user_id,'wpcf-tilknyttetafdeling',true),   //THE PROBLEM
                ),
            'post_category' => array( 3)
        );
        // Insert my_post i database.
        wp_insert_post( $post );
		//$wpdb->insert('wp_posts',$my_post);
		
		// hent den oprettede post.
		$posts = get_posts(array('post_author' => $post_id, 'post_type' => 'medarbejder'));
		foreach ($posts as $post) {
		    $title = get_the_title($post->ID);
		    $etid = $post->ID;
		    $permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
		    break; //use this to limit to a single result
		}
		// valg af data for opdatering
        $columns = array(
        	'ID'			=> $etid,
		   	'guid' 			=> '<em><u>hidden link</u></em>'.$etid,
		    'post_content'  => 'medarbejder er nu opdateret' .$post_id.' og post ID er: '.$etid
		   //'post_parent'	=> $post->ID
		   
		);
		//wp_update_post($columns);
		$wpdb->update( $wpdb->posts, $columns, array( 'ID' => $etid ) ); 
        //wp_insert_post( $my_upost);

        break;
    default:
        //code to be executed if n is different from all labels;
    
	}
   
     //sleep(1); 
}
