Pre-Sale Question:
What happens to data from a form that contains a mix of Standard fields (i.e. drop down) and Post fields (i.e. title, body, custom)? That is -- Do the Standard fields also appear in the Post draft? Do the Post fields continue to be associated with the Standard fields in the database?
Also, can templates be used to organize how Post fields appear?
Thank you.
*ONLY* Post Fields create post data. When you mix standard or advanced fields with post fields the data is still stored, however it is only stored as a form entry just like any form submission is.
You can use the content template functionality of the Post Title and Post Body fields to insert the value of a non-post fields into the Title or Body.
The entire form is stored as an entry and is accessible in the Entry area of Gravity Forms regardless if it creates a post or not.

Thank you, Carl.
Assume that I have a form with an Advanced Field called "website". When a Post Field Title or Body on the same form tries to create a Post Title/Body Template, the dropdown does not show "website" (although it does show Client IP Address, FormID, etc).
So, is the Post Title/Body Template limited to the dropdown list, or is there a way (shortcode?) to call Standard or Advanced Fields within the content template?
You may need to save your form and then edit it again before all your fields show up in the form field variable drop down on the content template. Once you do so, they should appear.
