Hi,
I created a post form that adds content to a CPT and this CPT contains a repeatable fields group.
When I create my form I do not have the possibility to add this group of fields with others
How do I integrate this repeatable group of fields into the post form ?
Thanks a lot
Olivier

Repeatable Field Groups are stored as child posts of the post to which they belong to, using Toolset post relationships.

Unfortunately the ability to add repeatable field groups directly from a form that publishes the posts to which the field groups belong was never completed, and I encourage you to request it (https://toolset.com/home/contact-us/suggest-a-new-feature-for-toolset/) so that the product manager is aware of the demand for this feature.

In the meantime you must create forms specifically to add groups of repeatable fields to existing posts, i.e. the workflow involves adding one form to publish the post, then displaying the post with a template which includes a link to a child post form to add a group of repeatable fields.

This documentation page describes creating and linking to forms to add child posts, and the principle is the same for repeatable field groups: https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/selecting-parent-posts-using-forms-create-child-items/
