Customizations are customizations. We provide support for built in features and functionality of Gravity Forms. If it's not something Gravity Forms does out of the box, then it's not something we provide support for. That being said, we do provide guidance, suggestions and on a lot of occasions code snippets to help users with customizations as time allows. However, support questions are prioritized over customization related questions.

You guys should at least acknowledge the questions, even if you can't help. That is just poort support for a paid product.

(It's kind of annoying that no one from Gravity Forms chimed in there for the week I was posting/bumping it, but oh well) I want to use the date field to specify the "publish" date of the post. Is this possible? From a bit of research, can this be done with <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Entry_Object?" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Entry_Object?</a> Using "$entry["date_created"];"? If so, can I get some example code? I'm not 100% sure how to do this.
