Tell us what you are trying to do?
First off, thank you for Toolset. This plugin has made my experience with wordpress amazing and I have found answers to all of my questions through your support documentation, which is incredibly thorough and impressive. So thank you.

I am updating the current user role when they submit a post form. Here is where I am at currently:
add_action('update_role_action', 'update_role',10,1);

function update_role($form_data)
{
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ($form_data['id']=='495')
{
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user->set_role('editor');
}
} else { }
}
do_action('update_role_action', 495);

I am currently learning PHP so any advice is much appreciated.

Is there any documentation that you are following?
I am using this thread as a starting point: https://toolset.com/forums/topic/change-user-role-on-cpt-form-submission/

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
This is the form: hidden link

Hi Lee,

Thank you for getting in touch.

Everything seems to be fine with your code except that you need to use the Hook that is specific to our Forms plugin.

add_action('cred_before_save_data', 'update_role',10,1);
function update_role($form_data)
{
if ( is_user_logged_in() ) {
if ($form_data['id']=='495')
{
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
$current_user->set_role('editor');
}
} else { }
}

Please let me know if this helps.
Thanks,
Shane
