Assigning hidden values from template

I want to assign a different ebook title to different post pages. I am trying to set $field_data when I call the form, but it is not getting set. I have tried calling the form two different ways...

First by assigning array values to $field_values when I call the form.
gravity_form(1, false, true, $field_values = array( "ebook-title" => $ebooktitle, "Phone" => "(907)555-1234" ), '', false)

Second by assigning the array to a variable then using the variable to set $field_values.
```
$tpd_field_values_set = array( "ebook-title" => $ebooktitle, "Phone" => "(907)555-1234" );
gravity_form(1, false, true, $field_values = $tpd_field_values_set, '', false);
```
The form shows up on the page but none of the data is there. I selected "Allow field to be populated dynamically". The variable $ebooktitle is set.

How do I use data from my post to populate on form when the post loads.

Thanks for your help

Resolved.

I finally got the post to auto populate using the gform_pre_render hook.

add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_1', 'auto_pop_form_function' );

function auto_pop_form_function( $form ){

	global $wp_query;
	$thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
	$postInfo = get_post_meta( $thePostID, 'custom-post-data', true);

	foreach($form['fields'] as &$field)
		if($field['id'] == 1){
			$field['defaultValue'] = $postInfo;
		}
		else if ($field["id"] == 4){
			$field["defaultValue"] = 'hard coded text string';
		}

	    return $form;
}

Using $field['defaultValue'] to set my value will work for my purposes. I am still not sure how to change a field value.
