    Subj: Help with updating value for an entry's field within hook 'gform_after_submission'

    I am trying to do some calculations (simple totals adding up of calories based on choices) after the form has been saved and then up date my final values.

    I have two hidden fields ready for these values in my form definition.

    But in the after hook I cannot see how to update the entry with the new values?

    I read this : http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/editing-updating-field-value-after-submission but it didnt explain how to update the $entry object so that instead of my values being zero I can adjust them to the calories total I have totted up!

    I should add I tried to do it in the Pre_submission hook but the entry object was not there and the form object data is quite complex therefore - so I would prefer to do it in the post_hook.

    I ddi this using Sessions in the end and passing values into existing hidden fields via javascript.
