Allowing users to submit a post w/ "Featured Video" using Gravity Forms

    Using Gravity Forms I've created a form that allows logged in users to successfully submit a blog post that has a title, body text, and category - once submitted, the post goes to Drafts for my approval.

    Because I am ultimately trying to build a video blog site, the most important field to populate is the 'Featured Video' field that shows up in the AWAKE GENERAL POST OPTIONS when writing/editing a blog post.

    My question is - where is this 'Featured Video' field stored? If it is a custom field, Gravity Forms can easily capture and populate that field.

    I've also fooled around with the idea of using a PORTFOLIO instead of blog posts for the videos. Gravity Forms can also handle custom post types w/ this plugin (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gravity-forms-custom-post-types/) but once again, I'm not sure how to properly populate the "Portfolio Video Link" field.

    If anyone has any suggestions or experience with how to easily populate those particular fields, any help would be appreciated.

    Cheers.

    I love it when I can figure out my own issues ;)

    The custom field name for the Featured video is _featured_video with the input value the youtube URL.

    Now I can have my logged in members submit videos which become drafts that I approve to go live on the site.

    :)
