WooCommerce: Name of short description meta field

I want to populate the short description field of a WooCommerce product with Gravity Forms.
Unfortunately I couldn’t figure out the name of the meta field(?).

Every other meta field works fine. I’ve checked the code and some docs to find the correct name but I couldn’t find it.

I tried the following: excerpt, postexcerpt, post_excerpt.
In the backend code the field’s name is excerpt. To use the field’s name works for every other meta field.

    The great support over at Gravity Forms pushed me in the right direction. You have to use a custom snippet to map the form field with short description / excerpt:

    add_action( 'gform_advancedpostcreation_post_after_creation', 'update_product_information', 10, 4 );
function update_product_information( $post_id, $feed, $entry, $form ){

    //update the excerpt
    $the_post = array(
        'ID'           => $post_id,//the ID of the Post
        'post_excerpt' => $entry['60'],
    );
    wp_update_post( $the_post );

}

    This snippet will make the short description / excerpt show up as a mappable field:

    add_filter( 'gform_advancedpostcreation_excerpt', 'enable_excerpt', 10, 1 );
function enable_excerpt( $enable_excerpt ){
    return true;
}
