Assign new user to post when registration form submitted

  1. I have the user registration plugin installed ( V1.4 )

    The form I have has both user and post data. An anonymous user "signs up" and creates a post. Currently, the user is created and the post is created. However, the new user is not assigned to newly created post.

    I have not been able to figure out what hook to use in order to accomplish this.
    This is sort of what I want to do:

    What I have so far:

    // set post type and publish status
    add_filter("gform_post_data", "ihearditbefore_gform_post_data", 10 , 2 );
    
    function ihearditbefore_gform_post_data( $post_data, $form ){
    
       $post_data['post_type'] = 'person';
       $post_data['post_status'] = 'publish';
       return $post_data;
    }

    I notice $form has a post_user [postAuthor] => 13 but it's always the same. I would need to change that somehow — via what hook?
