I am creating a site where the admin can create a new user, gets redirected to another page, and finally creates a custom type entry (with MB frontend submissions).

Is it possible to pass the newly created user ID/object to the second page which is housing the MB frontend submission forms shortcode so I can assign the new post type entry author to the new user ID?

Basically, I need the user to be assign as the author of the new post. New user, new cpt object.

For anybody else that wants this functionality, here is what I did.

Set the user_id as a transient in the database after the user object is created.
```
add_action( 'rwmb_profile_after_save_user', 'set_user_id_as_transient', 10 ,1 ); 
function set_user_id_as_transient( $object ) {
     set_transient( 'user_id', $object->user_id, HOUR_IN_SECONDS );
}
```
Then modify the form submission with the transient data.
```
add_filter( 'rwmb_frontend_insert_post_data', 'insert_user_id', 10, 2 );
function insert_user_id( $data, $config ) {

    $user_id = get_transient( 'user_id' );

    if ( false !== $user_id ) {
         $data['post_author'] = $user_id;
    }

    return $data;

}
```
Ahn, please mark as complete.
