[Resolved] auto-populate submitted form post-title with submitted form post-id?

I’ve created a Post Form of CPT ‘Feedback.’ Its shortcode is included in a Visual Editor cell of a Layout for another CPT. As users submit these forms, I want their post-title to include their auto-incremented post-id in the title, like this: Feedback Form #537 (where 537 = the post-id of the *submitted form*).

This works on the form email notification, like so:
SUBJECT: Form # [wpv-post-id] = Form #537

However, when I try to auto-populate the *submitted form* post-title using [wpv-post-id], I get a different value, like this: Form #319 (where 319 = the post-id of the post in which the form is embedded). Here’s the code I’m using:

Edit CRED Post Form > Content
[cred_field field='post_title' post='scene-feedback' value='[wpv-post-id]' urlparam='' class='form-control' output='bootstrap']

It makes sense that *before* the form is submitted the only value for [wpv-post-id] would be the value of the existing page in which the form is embedded.

So, how do I auto-populate the title of the *submitted form* with the post-id of the *submitted form* so that it matches up with the Email Notification Subject Line?

Thank you.

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - We have the nice example how you can auto-populate the post title while using CRED form. You need to use CRED hook cred_save_data .

For example:

//Create a dynamic post title by the CRED form.
add_action('cred_save_data','func_custom_post_title',10,2);
function func_custom_post_title($post_id,$form_data) {
    if ($form_data['id']==9999) {
        $name = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-name', true);
        $email = get_post_meta($post_id, 'wpcf-email', true);
        $title= $name. '-' . $email;
        $args = array('ID' => $post_id, 'post_title' => $title);
        wp_update_post($args);
    }
}

You need to adjust your title according to your requirement.
