Hey Gravity Forms community,  
Thank you for being here.

I have a front end (Gravity) form (under a secure member zone - Memberpress), where end user is uploading multiple documents to a CPT, using the Advanced Post Creation ( + GP file upload pro + GP media library) .  
This create a post, in CPT - document upload (ACF Pro).

when this is being created, I need to have a Custom Field (check box) in the Active User Profil be updated to “yes”. what are 2 ways to that done ?  
which one is better ?

Hi Marco,

To update a custom field in the User Profile when the form is submitted, you’ll need to use the GF User Registration add-on to also add an Update user feed on the form. You’ll set up a field mapping in the User registration feed and map the custom field to a static value of Yes, or whatever value you have set in the custom checkbox field.

Best,
