Tell us what you are trying to do?
Hi,
I have a post x that has Repeatable Field Groups called files. I want to know, can I add the Repeatable Field Groups form inside post x form so the user can add the files directly when creating the post?

Hello, in the current system you cannot create or edit an RFG within the same Form that creates or edits its parent post. Those two processes require separate Forms. It is also not possible to edit multiple rows of an RFG in the same Form, each row must be edited independently. We are working to improve the usability of Forms with RFGs, so I hope this process will change soon. If you'd like to request this feature, feel free to submit your request here: https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/
If more people request this feature, hopefully it will be added sooner.

In this case is there a way to go back to previous page where add new repeatable filed group link and list of all repeatable files is. So, the user can see the list updated with new record.

Yes, you can use Forms redirection API to redirect to any custom post or page. Let's assume the list of RFG is on the parent post. In the Form settings, you must set up some redirection. It doesn't matter which page or post you choose in the Form settings, but you must choose something for redirection. Then add the following custom code in your child theme's functions.php file, or in a custom code snippet in Toolset > Settings > Custom Code:

add_filter('cred_success_redirect', 'custom_redirect_rfg_editor',10,3);
function custom_redirect_rfg_editor($url, $post_id, $form_data)
{
  $forms = array( 12345 );
  $rfg_slug = 'your-rfg-slug';
  if ( in_array( $form_data['id'], $forms ) ) {
    $parent_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, $rfg_slug );
    return get_permalink($parent_id);
  }
  return $url;
}

Replace 12345 with the ID of the RFG form, and replace your-rfg-slug with the slug of your RFG. Then this code will automatically redirect to the single parent post after submitting the form. If your list is somewhere else, please explain and I can offer a code update.

I have added the code in function.php. I have also set the After visitors submit this form go to a specific post but still it is not working

 add_filter('cred_success_redirect', 'custom_redirect_rfg_editor',10,3);
function custom_redirect_rfg_editor($url, $post_id, $form_data)
{
  $forms = array( 2762 );
  $rfg_slug = 'rental_file';
  if ( in_array( $form_data['id'], $forms ) ) {
    $parent_id = toolset_get_related_post( $post_id, $rfg_slug );
    return get_permalink($parent_id);
  }
  return $url;
}

Okay just to be clear, the file name is usually functions.php, with an "s". If this is not working I'll be glad to take a closer look. Please provide login credentials in the private reply fields here, and tell me where I can find this form on the front-end of your site. I will run a couple of tests and give you some feedback.

Sorry I was not clear about this, in wp-admin you must choose a post for the redirect. You have not selected an actual post yet, as you can see in this screenshot, it still says "select post". You must choose an actual post there. I set it to redirect to the "Dashboard" page for you, and I think it is working now. I submitted a new Rental File in this Rental post:
hidden link

After the Form was submitted, I was returned to the Rental post:
hidden link

Can you check and confirm it's working now?

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
