(Actually, it's a custom taxonomy.) The code examples make it clear how to change fields, but appending a category is more complicated. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hidden-category-and-visible-category#post-177125 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:49:44 +0000 David Peralty 177125@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>You would have to write some PHP to grab the currently selected categories, and edit the post category to append your own using the following hook: <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_data" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_post_data</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/hidden-category-and-visible-category#post-177113 Tue, 19 Mar 2013 16:38:52 +0000 wpalchemist 177113@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have a form that lets visitors create a post. I want them to be able to choose what categories the post is in, but each post also needs to go into two additional categories. So have a Post Category field where people can check boxes for the category they want. I also have an admin-only field that should add the post to the two non-optional categories, but that field doesn't seem to be working - the post doesn't get saved in that category. I assume this is because I can't have two post category fields. So is there any way I can let users choose from a bunch of categories, but also force the post to have a few other categories? </p>
