Use custom field of CPT in User Forms to capture the user input and store the same to the database. I have read the documentation that we can add custom fields to user forms, but I can't find a way to do the same.

Through this I want to store the user preferences.

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature with Toolset Forms plugin, you can not add custom post field into user form, you might consider custom codes, for example:
After user fill and submit the user form, use action hook "cred_save_data" to trigger a custom PHP function:
https://toolset.com/documentation/programmer-reference/cred-api/#cred_save_data
in this PHP function, save user input into database, for example:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/update_post_meta/

Toolset user forms can manage user fields, it can not manage post fields.

In your case, you might consider other other workarounds, for example use one custom post type as intermediate post type, use it to connect users with your custom post types, see our document:
