I have not heard a discussion of it lately, but I will see if someone can update this topic with more recent information. It's also possible it can be worked around with the hooks built in to Gravity Forms, but it would not be available to you in the form builder. It would require some customization. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-forms-can-users-create-new-categories#post-39515 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 10:03:29 +0000 msnfull 39515@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thank you very much. -- Yes, I meant submitters adding new categories. Is this perhaps on your agenda / a planned feature already? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-forms-can-users-create-new-categories#post-39486 Tue, 01 Nov 2011 00:08:15 +0000 Chris Hajer 39486@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Regarding question two: you can use the logged in user, or pre-define an author. So, yes, you can ignore the submitter.</p> <p>When you say "users" and "posts/forms" do you mean someone submitting your form, can they create a new category? If that's the question, no, the person submitting a form cannot create a new category. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/post-forms-can-users-create-new-categories#post-39477 Mon, 31 Oct 2011 20:31:12 +0000 msnfull 39477@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hello,<br /> I plan on using GF for content creation -- can users add new categories to their posts / forms?</p> <p>Another question, when a registered user is logged in and submits a form, can the author of this posts automatically be set to a pre-defined other user (for example named "Group 1") ignoring the original submitter?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
