 * Like other users, I’m considering using this but wanted to ask a usage question
   before I go paying for Gravity Forms.
 * The only thing I want people to be able to update is tags. The original author
   will tag their post, but someone may come along and decided there are more tags
   that can be assigned.
 * I want a small, one field form in a widget below the widget showing the existing
   tags, that will allow only registered users to add (not edit, delete or overwrite)
   tags.
 * Can this combination of Gravity Forms plus your enhancement plugin (and maybe
   some other plugin to restrict the widget to show for registered users) do this
   trick?

 * You can add a gravity form as a widget. However this plugin doesn’t integrate
   directly with the widget built in to gravity forms. That is an update I am looking
   at, to see what is possible.
 * I know this question is three months old, but here is one really easy way to 
   achieve what you are trying to do.
 * Use a text widget to add a shortcode:
 *     ```
       [gravityform id="2" title="true" description="false" update]
       ```
   
 * Text widgets do not support shortcodes automatically, so you need to add this
   to your functions.php:
 *     ```
       add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');
       ```
   
 * You can build a form with a tag field and add it that way.
