Is it possible to create entries in a CPT from multiple forms? I would not like to create a post type for each form.

I created a custom post type with various fields and would like to use multiple forms to fill it, each with only some of the fields used in the post type.

I have tried to create a new field group without a defined post type - but with the same field IDs as in the CPT fields - and have included a form in the post that actually saves a new entry in the post type - but all fields are empty.

Hi Rodrigo,

Is it possible to create entries in a CPT from multiple forms?
No, it's not possible. You can create more field groups, assign them to one post type. Then put all field group IDs into one form. Like this

[mb_frontend_form id="meta-box-id1,meta-box-id2,meta-box-id3" post_fields="title,content"]

Refer to the documentation https://docs.metabox.io/extensions/mb-frontend-submission/#shortcode-attributes
