# Programatically set shortcode argument

 * I am using gravity forms to add and edit a product post from the frontend.
 * The shortcode parameter to edit a post is:
    [gravityform id=”1″ update=”451″]
 * Where 451 is the product post id.
 * Currently the admin needs to find the id and manually insert it as the argument.
 * I need a front end plugin that lists product posted by the logged in user who
   is in the Author role.
 * The user should be able to select a product on the list that they would like 
   to edit.
    Then the shortcode should be reset to allow the user to update the 
   product post.
 * ie.
    [gravityform id=”1″ update=”465″] where 465 is the id of the selected post.
 * Any reference would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
 * Dovberman
