I created a form to add a repeateable field to my custom post type
I insert this form in single template of parent post, and I want that related field have to preloaded parent value so I add this field to my form

[cred_field field='@candidatenotes.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' value="$current" required="true"]

I seams to work becouse I have the correct value in form but when I submit I have this error

Fatal error: Uncaught InvalidArgumentException: All provided arguments for a related element must be either an ID or a WP_Post object. in....

could you help me please

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

It seems you will have to connect the post when you submit the form.

Can you please share problem URL where you added the form as well as admin access details.

*** Please make a FULL BACKUP of your database and website.***
I would also eventually need to request temporary access (WP-Admin and FTP) to your site. Preferably to a test site where the problem has been replicated if possible in order to be of better help and check if some configurations might need to be changed.

I have set the next reply to private which means only you and I have access to it.

I installed the adminer plugin on your site and I can see that you have two post types available with the same slug "candidate":
=> hidden link

I'm not sure what post type you are using or the correct one.

Can I go ahead and delete the first "candidate" row?

[francescoG]

Sure, you can

I've reported the issue to our next level support. Please hold on for further updates.

Can you please check now: hidden link

I've removed the parent field from your form:
=> hidden link

And added the following code to the "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset with the code snippet name "connect-candidatenotes":
=> hidden link

add_action('cred_submit_complete', 'func_connect_candidate_notes',10,2);
function func_connect_candidate_notes($post_id, $form_data) {
     
  if ($form_data['id']==5205){
    
    if (isset($_POST['_cred_cred_prefix_cred_container_id'])){
      	
       $parent_post_id = $_POST['_cred_cred_prefix_cred_container_id'];
        toolset_connect_posts('candidatenotes',$parent_post_id,$post_id);
    }
    
  }
    
}

Can you please confirm it works as expected.

Yes it works as I expected.
But I have to questions
1) where did you add that php code?
2) For the future, because I don't know php, why didn't work my solution? I don't undestand where was the problem. Could you say me why?

1) where did you add that php code?
==>
I already shared that information with my previous reply.

And added the following code to the "Custom Code" section offered by Toolset with the code snippet name "connect-candidatenotes":
=> hidden link

2) For the future, because I don't know php, why didn't work my solution? I don't understand where was the problem. Could you say me why?
==>
It was not working because you have added the $current to select the current post in the parent dropdown box. But as you can see now with your form I already deleted the parent dropdown box as its not required and added the code I shared that does the trick.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!
