Use date (field type) to set publish date?

    I was getting no help here: http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/creating-publish-date-from-date-field - So I figured I would try a new thread with a fresh start. (It's kind of annoying that no one from Gravity Forms chimed in there for the week I was posting/bumping it, but oh well)

    I want to use the date field to specify the "publish" date of the post. Is this possible?

    From a bit of research, can this be done with http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Entry_Object? Using "$entry["date_created"];"? If so, can I get some example code? I'm not 100% sure how to do this.

    I finally got it working with this: http://pastebin.com/uzteapAh

    I'm still pretty annoyed that no one from Gravity said anything in a weeks time, though. You guys should at least acknowledge the questions, even if you can't help. That is just poort support for a paid product.

    A member of our support team replied to this same question that you posted in another forum thread and supplied a code snippet example:

    Something you need to keep in mind is customizations are not supported. Customizations are customizations. We provide support for built in features and functionality of Gravity Forms. If it's not something Gravity Forms does out of the box, then it's not something we provide support for.

    That being said, we do provide guidance, suggestions and on a lot of occasions code snippets to help users with customizations as time allows. However, support questions are prioritized over customization related questions.
