    Hi there, I create a form to use on a front end page to have users submit a cpt entry. However, there seems to be no way to include standard fields like post title and content. Only my ACF fields show up. What am I missing?

    Hello,

    Thanks for the feedback. If you’re using the ACFE Form module, then you’ll have to add a “Post Action” in the form UI in order to map fields to the related Post Field (title, content etc…). See screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/Ylu194P.png

    You’ll find more information about the Post Action in the documentation: https://www.acf-extended.com/features/modules/dynamic-forms/post-action

    Hope it helps!

    Regards.

    Sorry for not being clear. That I did see that option, but it requires me to create another field group that maps to post title and content. I was looking for the equivalent of post_title =>true in the acf_form() method. From your answer looks like that’s not possible?

    Hello,

    While ACFE Form is quite similar to ACF Form in some ways, it differ from it when it comes to Form Render and Actions. In fact, there no such thing as “post_title => true” in ACFE Form logic. As you guessed it, you’ll have to use an ACF field from the mapped field group to achieve it.

    The advantage of this method is that you can use the field of your choice (select, text, textarea…), customize its behavior, and place it where you want in the form (which is not possible in ACF Form).

    Regarding the fields render, you can then choose to display or hide it in the back-end (if you decide to use the same field group in the admin), using the Advanced Settings feature, Field Visibility settings or with custom code.

    As a side note you also have more advanced settings for the general form render, as you can completely rewrite it with the “HTML > Override Form Render” feature.

    Hope it helps!

    Regards.
