Tell us what you are trying to do?
I have custom page that has childposts. Parent posts are events and subordinates are participants. I have made a cred form where participants will sign up for an event. I do not want them to be able to choose events among the eventual documents I have. I want to decide what an event that I intend to get participants to. Participants should not be able to select events.
Can I set a parent post in a cred form without showing in the cred form?

Is there any documentation that you are following?
Cred documentaion

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
hidden link

at the bottom of the form "Välj event du anmäler dig till" (Select event you sign up for)

Hi there

You can only hide the field with CSS, it needs to be included on the form.

If you were to omit it you would need to use the CRED API, probably the cred_save_data hook, to update the database yourself when the form was submitted with the parent id field, although the form wouldn't include the parent id because you had removed it.
