Can't Map GravityForms Image Fields To Pods Extended User Image Fields

[markerx]

Issue Overview

I have used Pods to extend my User Fields.

http://cloud.brandonthompson.net/cc864e435bb1/Image%202018-09-16%20at%2011.43.45%20AM.png

The new fields appear on the Profile page.

I have created a Gravity Form for New User Registration. However, I am not seeing how to map my Gravity Form Field Image Fields to the new Pods Fields.

I sent a support ticket to GravityForms, and their response was:

Apparently, Pods plugin is storing data in a different way if you are using their avatar or image fields. Gravity Forms only send text values. You can switch those fields to plain text or you can contact Pods support and ask if they know a way of integrating those field types with Gravity Forms.

@sc0ttkclark I was able to reproduce the issue. This is without the Pods Gravity Forms Add-on, so just using User Registration to map to User Meta (User Registration has better handling of 'new user' 'modify user' than our configuration which requires the fields 'username' 'password' etc. even when it's not updating those fields.

I think this one mostly comes down to: how do those fields have to map so they provide the right values? Or do we need to write/provide a common code snippet or filter to translate the values.
