The form uses the gform_after_submission and update_post_meta to update the fileds on the form, but I'm not sure how to have it set the featured image. It uploads the image just fine... but having the "set as featured image" box checked on the upload box in the admin side doesn't effect the function because it's editing, not creating, a post. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/gform_post_data-updating-a-post#post-69809 Tue, 07 Aug 2012 01:53:11 +0000 Chris Hajer 69809@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>@parkeast, please ask your question here and explain what you would like to do, and what you've already tried, and we can help address your issue specifically.
