hey,

I have an order cpt with repeatable group for notes.

I have created a cred form for creating new "notes", but the cred form only allows me to choose which post i want to add the notes to, whereas I need it to allow posting new repeatable notes ONLY FOR THE CURRENT POST.

Is there a way to make the cred form NOT display the select box for choosing a post, and only allow to use this in the current post, similar to showing only the current author?

thx!

The repeatable field groups are implemented using child posts, so setting the post to which the repeatable field group belongs is done in the same way as pre-selecting which parent post a child post belongs to.

That's documented here: https://toolset.com/documentation/post-relationships/selecting-parent-posts-using-forms-create-child-items/

Can you look at that and apply the same technique for your form to add repeatable field groups, and if you are stuck let me know.

Hey Nigel!

Still stuck. I think nowhere in the documentation does it say anything about "current post".
The relationship field in repeatable field form doesn't the ability to determine the current post...

My form is:

[credform]
	[cred_field field='form_messages' class='alert alert-warning']
	<div class="form-group">
		[cred_field field='sender-note' force_type='field' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']
	</div>
	<div class="form-group">
		[cred_field field='@sender-notes.parent' class='form-control' output='bootstrap' select_text='--- not set ---' author='$current']
	</div>
	[cred_field field='form_submit' output='bootstrap' value='Add Note' class='btn btn-primary btn-lg']
[/credform]

any help appreciated!
thx 🙂

What is the workflow for publishing these notes?

The expected workflow is that you are viewing a parent post (or the post that the RFG will belong to) and that the template for these posts includes a link to the form to add child posts.

You can insert such a link using the Toolset Forms button and Create Child Post Link, where in the resulting dialog you specify that the parent will be the current post where the link is inserted (screenshot).

not sure i understand.
the flow is:

i have a view with a table showing all orders (posts).
in the table, there's a td which includes the "add notes" form, which is just a cred form for creating the repeatable field.

when i try to insert a child post link into the view, i can't see the form in the choice area.

is this because it's a view and not the content template of the order?

is there a way to insert such a link into a view displaying all orders?
thx!

OK, slightly different, as you are including the form itself (multiple times, once for every post, or row of the table).

In which case you can edit your form which will include a field for the parent selector, and you can provide the default value which should be the ID of the parent post—the current post in the loop—so insert the wpv-post-id shortcode, which will provide the ID of the current post in the loop.

Does that make better sense?

Perfect Sense 🙂 I tried before using the post-title, but that didn't work - thx for all the help!
