"Automatically" select custom taxonomy term for custom post type creation

    Hi. I have a form where we're allowing members to submit content. The form submission creates new posts in our "Guides" custom post type. If I have a custom taxonomy, let's say "Guide Types," how would I set up a form such that a user-submitted "guide" automatically (invisibly) gets assigned one of my "guide types" taxonomy terms?

    I know how to set this up using checkboxes for the user to select, is there anyway to populate this yet hide it from the user?

  2. Taxonomies are not built in to Gravity Forms. Are you using the "Gravity Forms + Custom Post Types" plugin? http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/

    I am, what a n00b. Great plugin, please disregard as I chase down a solution via the custom post type extension.
