I am excited to use the new Advanced Post Creation add-on. But it falls majorly short on being usable for most of my projects as there is not a way that I can see to use it to edit a post. It seems like if you just added a hook to the create\_post() function before calling wp\_insert\_post(), so that we could update the post object with an ID, it would solve that problem? ---

The Advanced User Registration addon handles things quite nicely creating and editing user. I wish the same mechanics were applied to the Post Creation addon. It almost feels incomplete without this ability. ---

Hopefully we’ll see this soon. Interaction with Custom Post Types is a huge deal! ---

Has there been any progress on this from GF? I’m curious if this has been started or not. I’ll volunteer to beta test if that is available. I have some projects that would really benefit from this. In a perfect world, I see using ACF on the backend and GF for the frontend to customize content, update custom posts, and more. ---

There hasn’t been any progress on this. The feature request is still open. I’ll add your vote. ---
