[Resolved] Repeating fields on front-end form – possible?

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

Problem:

Create a front-end form that includes a repeating-field group. I have added the repeating group to the field group, and to the post type. My next step wants to be adding the repeats to the existing form for the post type. I don't see a way to do that.

Solution:

The 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.

Tell us what you are trying to do? Create a front-end form that includes a repeating-field group. I have added the repeating group to the field group, and to the post type. My next step wants to be adding the repeats to the existing form for the post type. I don't see a way to do that. I see a way to add to the View, but I want Add/Edit forms in order to populate the data. Is this possible?

Is there any documentation that you are following? https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/creating-and-displaying-repeatable-field-groups/

Is there a similar example that we can see?

Thank you. I had found other repeatable-group documentation but not that specific article. It looks like just what I need. 🙂
