    I have a long form to edit my research custom post type. This is the beginning:

    <?php
    add_filter( 'rwmb_meta_boxes', 'your_prefix_function_name' );
    
    function your_prefix_function_name( $meta_boxes ) {
    
        $prefix = '';
    
        $meta_boxes[] = [
            'title'      => __( 'Academic: Research Summary', 'your-text-domain' ),
            'id'         => 'academic-research-summary',

                ],

    But I have the issue that it is editing the page it is on and not the custom post type. The title field populates with the page title. This is my shortcode [mb_frontend_form id="academic-research-summary" edit="true" post_type="research" confirmation="Saved" post_id="current"]

    why is it not working with my custom post type?

    Every time I finally give up and reach out for support, after sending the support ticket I instantly figure it out. It was because of this - post_id="current"- in the shortcode, right?

    I was wanting to use the same form to create new and for editing posts later. Is that not possible?

    Hello,

    It isn't possible to use one frontend shortcode to edit the current post and create new one. You can try to use two frontend shortcodes:
    - On the post template: use the attribute post_id="current" to edit the current post.
    - On the separate page: remove that attribute to submit a new post.
