Update field value in af/form/submission

    Hi,

    I’m hooking into af/form/submission, and making a change to the value of one of the fields in the $fields array.

    I had assumed that would be enough, that my change would be automatically saved, but have found that not to be the case.

    I’ve since read that I need to use af_save_field to update a field, but it requires a post_id, and I don’t know what the post ID is – how do I retrieve the post ID? Or should I be making changes to the $fields array at some other point in order that my changes be saved?

    Many thanks in anticipation

    Just wanted to add to this that my form is configured with “Create entries” enabled, so I’m not creating a post – were I creating a post I know how I would go about retrieving the ID.

    I’ve concluded that I should be doing this in the af/form/entry_created hook instead.

    That sounds like the right way to go about it! Because of the way actions work in WordPress, changing the $fields argument won’t work as you noticed.
