    Hello,

    I would like to know if the following is possible with GF.

    I want to embed a form within each post below the post content which would update few custom fields associated with that post.

    eg.
    Let us say I have a tab that outputs a custom field called "New information" below the post content, which would be updated right from the form on that page (after some validation).

    It's possible, but only as a customization. Out of the box Gravity Forms does not edit existing posts, it only creates new posts. So if you wanted a form that can edit a post you would have to write custom code using the available API hooks to accomplish this.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Is http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Developer_Docs the only resource for more information on this?

    Could you direct me to more tuts/tips on these in general?
    I would want to try/learn these out myself and hiring developers is the last option.
