Gravity Wiz Weekly 216
We want your feedback on Gravity Wiz Weekly! Plus, reorder feeds with GP Google Sheets, mentions of the magical variety, prevent duplicate selections, and more.
Greetings, wizards!
Ok. Big question. We get a lot of positive feedback about this weekly newsletter – it’s hugely motivational in dedicating the time to it each week – but we’re hungry for critical feedback too.
What could we do better with this newsletter?
If there’s something you don’t like, something you’d like to see more of, or something you’d like us to try, we want to hear about it. Leave a comment and share your thoughts!
Speaking of feedback…
GP Google Sheets: Reorder Feeds
I can’t tell you how critical customer feedback is to the work we do. We pride ourselves on being nimble (think Gandalf hopping onto a horse) so when a customer suggests an easy feature we can add on the fly, we’re all over it.
This week, a customer (let’s call him Bilbo) had some complex client requirements (aren’t they all?) that necessitated creating quite a few GPGS feeds for the same form. Bilbo used conditional logic on each feed to direct entry data to the correct sheet. Afterwards, Bilbo casually mentioned how nice it would be if he could reorder his feeds for organization.
We wholeheartedly agreed!
Bonus: If you’re using different feeds to map entry data to the same spreadsheet, this would also allow you to control the order those rows are added (e.g. primary contact first then secondary).

New Resources
You may recall that we recently updated Advanced Select to support this handy snippet which allows you to prevent the same choice from being selected across multiple fields.
Well, this week we’ve updated this snippet to work with Populate Anything. Fields whose choices are filtered by the values selected in other fields are dynamically updated via AJAX. Now, this snippet correctly applies even when a field’s markup is refreshed.
Case-sensitive Database Filters
By default, Populate Anything filters are case-insensitive. That’s not to say that GPPA doesn’t care. It just likes to be inclusive. 🤗
In some scenarios, however, like when you’re looking up a user-entered raffle or coupon codes to see if it exists, you need it to be a little more precise.
This snippet will give you that precision by making filters case-sensitive for the Database object type. If you need this for other object types, let us know. 🙏
Capture Full Address in a Single Input
Powered by Address Autocomplete, this snippet allows you to capture a full address in a single input, while still capturing each individual piece of the address in a hidden Address field.
This week, we updated the snippet to require a selection from the list of GPAA’s autocomplete suggestions. This prevents users from accidentally altering the address after they’ve selected it or deliberately entering a fake address.
