[Resolved] Repeating Fields in Cred Form using cpt in dropdowns

This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.

Problem:
Repeating Fields in Cred Form using cpt in dropdowns

Solution:
you can not use post reference field with repeatable groups as its not supported.

Another thing is that - you can not use repeatable groups with CRED form because Toolset Repeatale Groups is based on posts, each item of repeatable field group is a single post, but Toolset form (CRED) can create/edit only one post in each form, it can not create the multiple posts in one Toolset form.

You can find proposed solution, in this case, with the following reply:

I'd like to use a cred form to allow a user to create a list of events they will be participating in.
There are 3 CPT's. Artists,Venues, Event List Submissions.

I've used a Post Reference (Artists) at the top, that was the easy part. I've created a Repeatable group that includes Start Date, Start Time, End Time . I see you cannot add a Post Reference to a repeatable group. Is there a workaround for this using php? If not I will use a text field.

Lastly How do I create a single form as displayed in the attachment? Any examples or tutorials available?Thanks

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - you can not use post reference field with repeatable groups as its not supported.

Another thing is that - you can not use repeatable groups with CRED form because Toolset Repeatale Groups is based on posts, each item of repeatable field group is a single post, but Toolset form (CRED) can create/edit only one post in each form, it can not create the multiple posts in one Toolset form.

For example, let us say you have a post type called “Houses” and a repeatable field group for “Rooms” that belongs to each house. You can create a separate form that allows users to add/edit “rooms” to existing houses.

Lastly How do I create a single form as displayed in the attachment? Any examples or tutorials available.
=> As its not supported, its not possible.

Thank you. Knowing it can't be done will save me quite a bit of time trying to do it.
