### 󠀁[Absolutely perfect – does exactly what we needed!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/absolutely-perfect-does-exactly-what-we-needed/)󠁿

Easy to set up, easy to work with, easy to understand – a perfect companion plugin
for Gravity Forms! We needed the ability to pull data into a form (using GravityWiz
Perks), modify it in the form, and then push it back to a Custom Post Type and this
did that last part with seamless ease. Developer – I’d love to buy you a coffee,
do you have a link?

Very simple straight-forward easy to use plugin. I hope there will be an additional
feature where we can update a post into a remote WP site.

Plugin does exactly what the name says. Works perfectly, I would like support for
custom taxonomies.

 [juanjvl12](https://profiles.wordpress.org/juanjvl12/) December 8, 2021

Hello, I appreciate the intention of this plugin but I do not see how I can update
the entry, when I go to the form and look for the published entries I do not see
any option to edit them, but if I reload the form does not work either, if you would
be so kind to make an explanatory video and / or demonstrative I think we would 
all appreciate it, because it is not understood after doing what you indicated as
we are going to update.
