You would have to create your own excerpt after the form is submitted, then store that custom excerpt using the gform_after_submission hook, or gform_post_data filte. <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_data" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_data</a> Samantha on "Can this be done?" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/can-this-be-done#post-290944 Thu, 30 May 2013 23:25:26 +0000 Samantha 290944@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Hello, I just discovered this brilliant feature for post body.

These are features of Gravity Forms. To include a custom field in your Page, you will need to use the content template for the post body, or you can modify your Page template to include them there.
