This thread is resolved. Here is a description of the problem and solution.
Problem: I would like to use the cred_save_data API to set the value of a custom field that is not managed by Toolset.
Solution: You can use the cred_save_data hook to add or change custom field information after the post is saved, even if the fields are not managed by Types. Types custom field slugs begin with "wpcf-" in the database, but other non-Toolset fields do not have this prefix. So if your custom field slug is "field-slug", then the code will look like this:
add_action('cred_save_data', 'nonts_custom_field_value_action',10,2);
function nonts_custom_field_value_action($post_id, $form_data)
{
$forms = array( 12345 );
// if a specific form
if (in_array($form_data['id'], $forms))
{
update_post_meta( $post_id, 'field-slug', 'field value' );
}
}
Change 12345 to match the numeric ID of this Form, change field-slug to match the slug of the custom field, and change field value to be the value you want to store in the custom field.
