I try to add element to structure, and I want to add to this element parent ID

Question

Form code:

<section class="membersTitle" >
    <label>Date</label>
    <select name="fields[parent][]">
    {% set entries = craft.entries.section('order').level(1) %}
        {% for entry in entries %}
            <option value="{{ entry.id }}">{{ entry.title }}</option>
        {% endfor %}
    </select>
</section>

I want to choose Parent from list, and I want to add the element to parent.

The fields array may only contain names that represents handles in your fieldLayout but the parent attribute is a property of your object rather than a field - you can set it via parentId. You may want to inspect your CP form in order to see how you need to define attributes

<section class="membersTitle" >
    <label>Date</label>
    <select name="parentId">
        {% for entry in craft.entries.section('order').level(1).find() %}
            <option value="{{ entry.id }}">{{ entry.title }}</option>
        {% endfor %}
    </select>
</section>

With the code above (?) – Robin Schambach Jul 29 '18 at 15:26
if you know another way, tell me pls – Alex Ryhluk Jul 29 '18 at 15:28
There is no easier way.. Specify the parentId attribute and you are done. You can as well create a custom query to change all necessary columns by hand but just setting the parentId is the way to go – Robin Schambach Jul 29 '18 at 15:29
