You can modify how Gravity Forms fields are rendered in the Edit Entry form, just like you do in Gravity Forms.

 The important thing is to set the priority to a number higher than 5000.

 Instead of:

```

add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_12', 'my_custom_function_to_populate_fields' );
```

```

add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_12', 'my_custom_function_to_populate_fields' );
```

 Use this instead:

```

add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_12', 'my_custom_function_to_populate_fields', 5001 );
```

```

add_filter( 'gform_pre_render_12', 'my_custom_function_to_populate_fields', 5001 );
```

 That will do it!
