However, I'm unable to achieve what I need.<br /> I'm new to GF so bear with me</p> <p>I'm working with GF and this two plugins:<br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-update-post/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-update-post/</a><br /> <a href="http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/" rel="nofollow">http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/</a></p> <p>I set up a form with some custom fields. My goal is for an editor user to create/edit some cutom posts, and assigning it to a diferent Author user.</p> <p>I can create and edit post easily, but I'm not able to change the post author value on submit. I tried to set useCurrentUserAsAuthor as 0, and postAuthor with the ID of a selected user, but it always keep the original user as Author. </p> <p>Maybe there is a better way to acomplish this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/dropdown-of-users-as-post-author#post-85426 Wed, 31 Oct 2012 00:29:38 +0000 Chris Hajer 85426@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I think this documentation will help:<br /> <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_Drop_Down_Fields" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Dynamically_Populating_Drop_Down_Fields</a></p> <p>That example shows how to dynamically populate a drop down with post titles.
