I did this, Steve.

Look at this, please:
I have custom post type:

post_types['my_forms'] = array(
        'labels' => piklist('post_type_labels', 'Forms')
        ,'title' => 'My Forms'
        ,'public' => true
        ,'rewrite' => array(
                'slug' => 'my_forms'
            )
        ,'supports' => array(
            'title'
            ,'post-formats'
            )

        ,'capability_type' => 'post'
        ,'edit_columns' => array(
            'title' => 'Forms'
            , 'status' => 'Status'
            , 'author' => 'User'
            )

        ,'hide_meta_box' => array(
            'slug'
            ,'author'
            ,'revisions'
            ,'comments'
            ,'commentstatus'
            , 'wpseo_meta'
            )

        ,'status' => array(

            'new' => array(
                'label' => 'New'
            )
               ,'status_one' => array(
                    'label' => 'Status One'
                )

            ,'accepted' => array(
                    'label' => 'Accepted'
                )

            ,'declined' => array(
                    'label' => 'Declined'
                )
            )

        ,'form_step' => array(
                'step-1' => array(
                    'label' => 'Form 1'
                ),

                'step-2' => array(
                    'label' => 'Form 2'
                )
            )
        );

    return $post_types;

I have form code

$current_user = wp_get_current_user();

    $args = array(
        'post_type' => 'my_forms'
        , 'author'        =>  $current_user->ID
        , 'orderby'       =>  'post_date'
        , 'order' =>  'DESC'
        ,'posts_per_page' => 1
    );

    $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );

    $post_id = '';
    while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) :
            $the_query->the_post();
            $post_id = get_the_ID();
    endwhile;

    echo $post_id;

    echo "<h4>Forms 1</h4>";

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'hidden'
                ,'scope' => 'post'
                ,'field' => 'post_type'
                ,'value' => 'my_forms'
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'hidden'
                ,'scope' => 'post'
                ,'field' => 'post_title'
                ,'value' => 'Form One'
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
               'type' => 'hidden'
                ,'scope' => 'post'
                ,'field' => 'post_name'
                ,'value' => 'form1'
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'hidden'
                'scope' => 'post'
                ,'field' => 'post_status'
                ,'value' => 'status_one'
                ,'attributes' => array(
                        'wrapper_class' => 'post_status'
                    ),
            'object_id' => $post_id
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'hidden'
                ,'scope' => 'post_meta'
                ,'field' => 'form_step'
                ,'value' => 'step-1'
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'textarea'
                ,'scope' => 'post_meta'
                ,'field' => 'title-form-1'
                ,'label' => 'Name'
                ,'attributes' => array(
                    'placeholder' => 'Enter Name'
                    ,'rows' => 3

                    ,'class' => 'large-text',
                    'style' => 'width: 100%',
                    ),

                'object_id' => $post_id
        ));

        piklist('field', array(
                'type' => 'submit'
                ,'field' => 'submit'
                ,'value' => 'Save'
                ,'template' => 'submit'
                ,'attributes' => array(
                    'class' => 'button button-primary'
                )
        ));

1) I can’t catch: if I press button Submit, it creates new record each time. Please, provide me example of code. I don’t understand.

2) In which section and moment I should generate unique number(for my custom field, like unique ticket number) for new record ?

Steve, good afternoon!

I got the latest record for user via WP_Query, and also added ‘object_id’ => $post_id for each field in my front-end form.

And after I press submit button for saving data (like in /forms example), it creates new record for custom type, but not edit current record. What’s wrong with this ?

Thanks.

Steve, i got it. Thanks.

I did it.

For example, I do like in demo form “new post with validation”.
You know, when I use scope “post_meta”, and user refresh/or relogging to site, data he’ve entered didn’t showed in fields form page. How could I solve it ? What should I add to have multi-paged forms with one button submit?

Don’t find example with save button, I see only with submit button:
// Submit button
piklist(‘field’, array(
‘type’ => ‘submit’
,’field’ => ‘submit’
,’value’ => ‘Submit’
));

Also wanna to have data private, and could be seen only by author, but not other users.

Scenario:
Form example, we have simple front-end form (example.com/form1) with two text field. User fill up this form and click “save (for continue later)” button. And user log off. After several days user open this form, check data, edit and click “submit”. After submitted form become not editable for this user, but he could see all forms with fields, blocked for editing.
