Hi Minesh

That's perfect thank you...just what I need...

The second part of my problem is to create a new PARENT rather than an existing one... so on the page

hidden link

...you would select a CHILD to give a parent to by clicking 'Choose Parent'.. That would then take you to the CHILD page with the list of potential PARENTS but underneath is now a button saying 'Create NEW PARENT' ..this takes you to the page:
hidden link

Where there is a form to create a new PERSON so I need this person to be the CHILD's PARENT..

Thank you for your help

Regards

Geoff

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - are you already using any Toolset Forms hook here to connect child to parent?

Hi Minesh

Thank you for continuing this ticket

No I'm not using Toolset hooks to connect child/parent as I'm using the WordPress post heirachy as you demonstrated in my last query - connected to this ticket.

Both there PARENT and the CHILD are the same CPT 'PEOPLE'... I need to achieve

1. Select a CHILD from the list on this page: hidden link
That would then take you to the CHILD page with the list of potential PARENTS but underneath is now a button saying 'Create NEW PARENT' ..this takes you to the page:
hidden link

Where there is a form to create a new PERSON so I need this person to be the CHILD's PARENT..

Thank you for your help

So to check if I understand you correctly.

I'm on this page: hidden link

So, when I click on 'Create NEW PARENT' so when new person is created using this form "Create NEW PARENT'" you want to set this newly created parent as the parent of child-2 post - correct?

Very best regards

Could you please check now.

I've added following code to your current theme's functions.php file:

add_action('cred_save_data','func_update_parent_field',10,2);
function func_update_parent_field($post_id,$form_data) {
    if ($form_data['id']==2613) {
       wp_update_post(array(
        'ID' => $_REQUEST['child_post_id'], 
        'post_parent' => $post_id
    ));
    }
}

When you click on "Create NEW PARENT" I'm passing the child post ID in URL and catching at cred_save_data action.
=> hidden link

My issue is resolved now. Thank you Minesh!

Hi Minesh

Apologies but there is one last thing I forgot about that I need to do related to this thread.

I need the custom field 'Adopted' of the CHILD whose child post ID you pass in the URL to become 'Yes' when the new PARENT is created.

I'm happy for you to use the same login details as before...

I really appreciate your help...I'm also learning at the same time!

Many thanks

Geoff
