Problem: I would like to automatically select the parent post in a new child post Form. I have a View that returns the correct parent post ID, so I would like to use that View in the Form shortcode but it does not seem to be working correctly.

Solution: It is not possible to set the parent post ID using an attribute in the cred_form shortcode, only in the parent post cred_field shortcode. You have the following options:

1. In the URL of the page containing the New House Form, add the correct parent post ID in a URL parameter. Use the urlparam attribute in the parent post cred_field shortcode to supply the name of the corresponding URL parameter. Example where the URL parameter is areaid:

2. Set the parent post ID in the value attribute on the parent post cred_field shortcode. Example where the parent post ID is 1234:
