    Hi there,
    I bought the regular license. How do i embed the WordPress user ID of the person submitting a form?
    All our forms will require that people are logged in. I want to pass the submitter's wordpress ID to verify that they are who they say they are.
    thanks!

    Add the following code the the Theme Function file:

    add_filter("gform_field_value_userID", "populate_userID");
function populate_userID($value){
$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
return $current_user->display_name;
}

    After that, go to your form.
    Insert a 'Hidden Field'.
    Click the 'Advanced' tab.
    Check the box for 'Allow field to be populated dynamically.'
    Set the 'Parameter Name' to userID.
    Click the 'Update Form' button.

    Hope this does the job!
