The entry id is not available until the form entry has been created in the database, so it would require a form field to be updated directly using database queries after the entry is saved. The entry id is available to the post since the form entry exists at the point we are modifying the post title. I think the easiest way to identify the post is to display the Entry Id field in the admin in the entry listing for the form. You can use that ID to match it back to the post since that id will be in the post title. sascha on "Use form entry number as post name" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/use-form-entry-number-as-post-name#post-43033 Sat, 03 Dec 2011 11:19:11 +0000 sascha 43033@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thank you Dana, that works great! One thing: is there a way to also save that new post title in the entries database of GF? Just so I can identify it..

I.e. if its the fifth entry in that particular form the post title would be: "job_ID_5" In another form it would be "office_ID_302" if it is the 302nd entry in that form. Hope that is clear... Is there a way to achieve this?
