Tell us what you are trying to do?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?
So we are creating a database for one client that will input content into post and then filter them deeper down. And i am wondering if with your field creator it is possible to create "name/tag" on the fly with your fields. so for example:

if we say this is collecting and dividing content about basketball and more specifically the The Dream Team and we have created the main fields/categories
1. Name
2. Team
3. Position
4. State
5. Strenghts

Okei we create these main fields but now the person who creates the post in WordPress needs to go deeper into the subject and in this post lets say there is only one player in each post (we create 3 samples here) it and she needs to add them to a database and if the name field has been created before in the system the system would automatically write/show the name(where we can sort and use on the website itself)

POST nr. 1
1. Michael Jordan
2. Chicago Bulls, Wazhington Wizards
3. Point Guard
4. Chicago
3. All around player

POST Nr.2
1. John Stockon
2. Utah Jazz
3. Point Guard (comes in automatically since it is has been created when doing this for Michael Jordan)
4. Salt Lake City
5. Defense, Assist, 3 points

Post Nr. 3
1. Karl Malone
2. Utah Jazz (has been created when doing the info about john stockton)
3. Power Forward
4. Salt lake city (has been created when doing the info about john stockton)
5. Scoring, Rebounds

AND if the person would be creating one post that included several players and for this example lets just say we use these 3 players

1. Michael Jordan, John Stockton, Karl Malone
2. Chicago Bulls, Wazhington Wizards, Utah Jazz
3. Point Guard, Power Forward
4. Chicago, Salt Lake City
3. All around player, Defense, Assists, 3 points, Scoring, Rebounds

Then this post would have all these tags on them and since all of the "tags" have been created in previous post the system would call for them automatically just like email programs do when you start writing in an adress and if you need to add a new email you can also do that in the same field.

I hope this explains what we are trying to aquire but we have a very large database that not so techy people need to work with and it has to be as simple as possible to add tags on each post

Hello @wesleyc-2, welcome to the WPML support Forum!

From what I understand, here is what you need:
Create a front-end form so the users will be able to submit new content
This is possible using the Toolset Forms plugin, please take a look at these links:
- https://toolset.com/home/cred/
- https://toolset.com/documentation/getting-started-with-toolset/publish-content-from-the-front-end/forms-for-creating-content/

Assign the players (posts) to a team/position/state/etc
This can be done using custom taxonomies, or with the post relationship feature of toolset. Please take a look at these links:
- https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/
- https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-display-related-posts-with-toolset/
- https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/how-to-display-related-posts-with-toolset/displaying-related-child-posts/

Add a auto-complete feature to automatically complete the team/position/state fields
If you are using post relationship, you can create a relationship form so it will display the existing options in a dropdown. However , this is the only auto-complete feature we have. If you need more features, it will require some custom work. For this, we have a list of experienced contractors available here: https://toolset.com/contractors/

All the best,
Diego
