 * I want to include some information from the post being updated on the post update
   page. For this I need the post_id. Where do I get this from? To illustrate, I
   would like the following page display ghe form and the post id.
 *     ```
       [gravityform id="1" name="Library Submission" title="false"]
   
       <?php
       echo $post_id;
       ?>
       ```
