We are trying to create/edit a CPT that has repeatable groups using the CRED front entd.

We need to be able to Add the CPT record and add the repeatable groups all at the same time. Of course, we also need to be able to Edit that CPT record and the associated repeatable groups using CRED,

There is no documentation or example on who to effectively do it.

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Here is the Doc how you can create the form for Repeating field groups:
=> https://toolset.com/course-lesson/front-end-forms-for-repeatable-field-groups/

The thing is that repeating field group item it self treated as a new post, so you can not add the repeating field group form within the parent post form.

Please let me know if you have any concerns.

I read the Doc that you are referring to. It is still not clear how do we get this done properly. I wich you have a video demo of the process. We have lots of applications that require CRED front-end submission with Repeating groups and it is not obvious or straightforward how to do it.

Thank you Minesh.

Obviously its not straight forward.

As shared with my previous reply:

The thing is that repeating field group item it self treated as a new post, so you can not add the repeating field group form within the parent post form.

For instance, if you have a post type "applications" and repeating field group "applications-info", the thing is that you can not combine form for post type "applications" and repeating field group "applications-info" as it will require two forms, one for post type "applications" to create applications posts and one for repeating field group "applications-info" to create new item for repeating field group.

The example also shared with the Doc I shared:

When you create repeatable field groups they will appear as a separate post type when creating the form. For example, let us say you have a post type called “Houses” and a repeatable field group for “Rooms” that belongs to each house. You can create a separate form that allows users to add “rooms” to existing houses.
