We have just released Version 1.9, which introduces a new Edit Entry form. The new form uses an actual Gravity Forms form, so users editing entries are presented with a familiar interface.

  • Edit Entry now supports Conditional Logic – as expected, fields will show and hide based on the form configuration. This results in a more refined and powerful entry editing experience.
  • The new form also supports Gravity Forms CSS Ready Classes – the layout you have configured for your form will now be used for Edit Entry, too.

In addition, 1.9 allows you to define widths of columns in Table and DataTables layouts. This makes styling your tables a lot simpler.

This release addresses the #1 request on our Ideas forum, and we’re thrilled to share it with you!

Version 1.9 is available to license holders via automatic plugin updates, and is available to download on your GravityView Account page.

Full changelog:

1.9 on June 23

  • Added: Edit Entry now takes place in the Gravity Forms form layout, not in the previous layout. This means:
    • Edit Entry now supports Conditional Logic – as expected, fields will show and hide based on the form configuration
    • Edit Entry supports Gravity Forms CSS Ready Classes – the layout you have configured for your form will be used for Edit Entry, too.
    • If you customized the CSS of your Edit Entry layout, you will need to update your stylesheet. Sorry for the inconvenience!
    • If visiting an invalid Edit Entry link, you are now provided with a back link
    • Product fields are now hidden by default, since they aren’t editable. If you want to instead display the old message that “product fields aren’t editable,” you can show them using the new gravityview/edit-entry/hide-product-fields filter
  • Added: Define column widths for fields in each field’s settings (for Table and DataTable View Types only)
  • Added: {created_by} Merge Tag that displays information from the creator of the entry (learn more)
  • Added: Edit Entry field setting to open link in new tab/window
  • Added: CSS classes to the Update/Cancel/Delete buttons (learn more)
  • Fixed: Shortcodes not processing properly in DataTables Extension
  • Tweak: Changed support widget to a Live Chat customer support and feedback form widget
