I have added this under the custom code section in toolset

This is my code
But the title field is blank

<?php
/**
* New custom code snippet (replace this with snippet description).
*/

toolset_snippet_security_check() or die( 'Direct access is not allowed' );

// Put the code of your snippet below this comment.

// fill delegate group repeatable title with idx_chantier from parent

add_action('cred_save_data', 'delegate_title_save_data_action', 10, 2);
function delegate_title_save_data_action( $post_id, $form_data ){
// if a specific form
if ($form_data['id']==35913) {
if(!empty($_POST['wpcf-idx_chantier'])){
$idx_chantier = $_POST['cred_post_parent get="wpcf-idx_chantier"'];
}

$title = $idx_chantier;
$slug = sanitize_title($title);
wp_update_post(array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title, 'post_name' => $slug));
}
}

Hi Mike,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Are you making reference to repeatable field groups that you are populating on the backend ?

Please let me know.

Thanks,
Shane

So the idx_chantier is already a populated field held in the parent (planner event) so I want the idx_chantier value to be assigned to the post title of repeatable field group.

In fact, I don't really need a post title for the repeatable field group., so can it be taken out of the cred form.
What I have seen in the past is if you don't have a value for the post title, you end up with these auto draft fields.

Hi Tony,

But this doesn't answer my question, Is this on the frontend or the backend.

Are you creating the Repeatable field groups through the frontend on a CRED form ?

I need a little more context to help better.

Thanks,
Shane

Hi Shane

Sorry about that .
I am adding the Repeatable field groups via the frontend using a cred form

Hi Mike,

I think the issue is here.

$idx_chantier = $_POST['cred_post_parent get="wpcf-idx_chantier"'];

You should use this function below to get the parent.
https://toolset.com/documentation/customizing-sites-using-php/post-relationships-api/#toolset_get_related_post

If you use this function you should be able to get the parent id.

Thanks,
Shane
