Hi there,

I’ve read lot of forum but I didn’t find the solution to my problem.

I have a form with a “Save As Post Type” : When this one is submitted it create my object “Team”.

I would like to have get the ID of this created team to add that one to the user (as a meta-data) with user registration. If the user register his team it’s the normal way is he had to be a part of this one, but nowadays I have to do that manually.
I read a bit about a command after the submit of the form but I didn’t really understand how to get the id of my object. I Tried a bit with the User Registration to create a Meta-Data but didn’t work.

Thanks in advance for the help, feel free to ask more details!

Cheers

Hi bkseen, something like this in your functions.php should do the trick. Update “my_custom_key” to whatever you want the meta key to be.
```
add_action( 'gform_user_registered', function( $user_id, $feed, $entry ) {
	add_user_meta( $user_id, 'my_custom_key', $entry['post_id'] );
}, 10, 3 );
```

Hi David, I tried you solution..and it doesn’t work.

I’ve replaced “my_custom_key” by the meta added with Custom Field, that my team_id.

my code at the total end of functions.php :
```
add_action( 'gform_user_registered', function( $user_id, $feed, $entry ) {
	add_user_meta( $user_id, 'team_id', $entry['post_id'] );
}, 10, 3 );
```
I tried to replace post_id by ’18’ (my post ID) but nothing happen.

By the way I’ve seen something like that: here , is it not the solution?

Please help me, it’s profesionnal and really important!

Cheers,

Hi bkseen, if that doesn’t work, you’ll want to contact Gravity Forms support. The example was pulled from their documentation (I did change the function from update_user_meta to add_user_meta):
