Hi,
is it possible to use the current user id (or name) as title of new created Toolset CPTs posts?

Thanks

Hello,

There isn't such kind of built-in feature within Toolset, it needs custom codes, for example:
1) when user save a "CPTs" post, use action hook "save_post" to trigger a PHP function:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/save_post/

2) In this PHP function, get the current user's ID:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/get_current_user_id/

And save it as post's title:
https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_update_post/
