Problem: I have a Form that creates parent posts. There is a generic checkbox in the Form. If the checkbox is checked, I would like to automatically create a child post.

Solution: Use the cred_save_data API to create a post automatically, use the toolset_connect_posts API to automatically link the new child post to the new parent post, and test the checkbox by testing if the slug key exists in the $_POST superglobal.

function create_child_log_item($post_id, $form_data) {
 
    if ( isset( $_POST['auto-add-log-item'] ) ) {
 
        $log_item = array(
            'post_title' => $title,
            'post_content' => '',
            'post_status' => 'publish',
            'post_type' => 'log-item',
            'meta_input' => array(
            ),
        );
 
        $log_item_id = wp_insert_post( $log_item , $wp_error );
 
        if ( $form_data["id"]==283 ) {
            toolset_connect_posts( 'maintenance-task-log-item', $post_id, $log_item_id );
        }
 
    }
 
}
add_action("cred_save_data","create_child_log_item",10,2);

Problem:
A Toolset Form to add a child post doesn’t save the parent post id if there is another form before it on the same page.

Solution:
This resulted from a bug which was fixed in Forms 2.1
