// Select all choices for field ID 1 on initial load
jQuery('#button_1_select_all').each(function() {
	gformToggleCheckboxes(this);
});

// Select all choices for field ID 2 whenever its choices are repopulated dynamically
jQuery(document).on('gppa_updated_batch_fields', function(event, formId, fieldIds) {
	if (formId != GFFORMID) {
		return;
	}

	jQuery('#button_2_select_all').each(function() {
		gformToggleCheckboxes(this);
	});
})

Auto-submit after fields are populated via QR code scan.

Use GP QR Code to scan a QR code and Populate Anything to dynamically populate data based on the scanned QR code. Then, with this snippet, you can wait for Populate Anything to finish updating the fields and automatically submit the form.

/**
 * Gravity Perks // GP QR Code // Automatically Submit After Successful Scan (w/ Populate Anything)
 * https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-qr-code/
 *
 * You want to auto-submit the form after you've scanned a QR code but you're using Populate Anything
 * to populate other fields based on the value scanned. You need to wait for Populate Anything to
 * finish fetching and populating that data before the form can be submitted. This snippet handles
 * that logic for you.
 *
 * We recommend installing this snippet with our free Custom Javascript plugin:
