I am displaying a form for a post inside the content template for its parent post. How do I set the default value of the relationship field to be the current (parent) post?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

With your parent relationship field's value attribute what if you pass the value $current and check if that works for you.

For example:

[cred_field field='@employee-post.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' value="$current" select_text='--- not set ---' required='false']

As you can see how the value attribute is populated with $current:

value="$current"

OK, so that does populate the field, but when the form is submitted, the relationship isn't created between the two posts.

I can give access to the site if you will turn on the private fields, please.

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

Replaced $current with [wpv-post-id] and it is working now.
