I just discovered the correlations via the Field Object page and came back here to say never mind. It might be helpful to make that connection on the Entry Object page in the Documentation for future reference. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/name-field-entry-object#post-112557 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:48:02 +0000 Chris Hajer 112557@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>If field 1 is your normal name field, then $entry['1.3'] will be the first name, and $entry['1.6'] will be the last name.</p> <p>You can always dump the $entry at the time of gform_after_submission to see what it contains. There you will see all the input IDs, including 1.3 for first name and 1.6 for last name. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/name-field-entry-object#post-112555 Wed, 02 Jan 2013 18:38:30 +0000 byjc 112555@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'm using gform_after_submission to update_post_meta but running into problems getting the First Name from a Normal Name field. In the sample below, $post_num and $taken are confirmed to be working properly. If I change the Name Field to simple, and use $entry["1"] it works but changing it to Normal and using this code does not. (I've also tried $entry["1,1"] with no luck.) I'm not sure what I'm doing incorrectly here?</p> <p><code>update_post_meta($post_num, &#39;roster_&#39;.$taken.&#39;_first_name&#39; , $entry[&quot;1.1&quot;]);</code> </p>
