The post types created through cred forms assign a slug such as .../cred-auto-draft-f528764d624db129b32c21fbca0cb8d6/ The problem is that I have created a View to list all post types in order to click on the post title and see the post type information, but it takes nowhere because of the slug. How can I solve it, please?

The posts have the auto-draft titles because the form which publishes the posts is missing a title field, and so Forms automatically generates a unique title, which is then used to create the permalink (the slug).

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "it takes nowhere because of the slug".

The slug is long and ugly but it works, it is a normal slug.

If you don't want to include a post title you might want to use an API hook to automatically generate your own shorter, more readable title.
