 * Hello
 * I have this working ok but it only loads the default post fields into the G form.
 * In my G form, I created a few simple custom fields to hold some post meta data
 * Can I get these values into the edit form too ?
 * thanks a lot

 * I worked out how to pass my custom field data to the form so I can load the fields
   with their existing values using Gforms dynamic field population.
 * Now I just have an issue with the updtes creating a new post and not updating
   the existing post
 * any ideas ?
 * thanks

 * I would need to see your code. There are a ton of variables here. How are you
   activating the form? Are you using custom post types and the Gravity Forms Custom
   Post Types plugin?
 * If you are updating your custom fields via gform actions, you are starting to
   negate the need for this plugin since you are doing it yourself. The fact that
   the custom fields weren’t working for you indicates that something is not right
   and there is a larger issues here that is likely part of why it creating new 
   posts.
