This involves using the hooks which are built in to Gravity Forms to pre-fill the form with data you have (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_pre_render" rel="nofollow">gform_pre_render</a>) and then update the data which is stored in the user profile (usermeta) or anywhere else (<a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">gform_after_submission</a>). It's all possible but will require some work on your part to make it happen. It's all fairly straightforward PHP and WordPress programming. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/saving-data-from-forms-for-users#post-66257 Sat, 14 Jul 2012 12:26:21 +0000 smeyer 66257@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I have seen articles touching on this topic, but I haven't seen my specific issue discussed or a similar one resolved so I thought I might ask...<br /> I am trying to set up a user driven site that captures user information and then auto fills their information into other forms on the site.<br /> I have the user registration add-on. When the user fills out the registration form, it saves fields that I can use to dynamically populate other forms. If the user didn't fill out their address when registering but enters it later in the "Contact Us" form, for example, is it possible to save it to their user profile? I tried to set up the contact us form as a feed for the user registration plugin, but it requires a username submission, and from what I understand from forum posts up to now, the user registration add on will only create new users; it can't be used to update user information. I found a discussion about this from a year ago on the forum. Any progress/updates? </p>
