Gravity Wiz Weekly 202
We came, we saw, and we conquered! See our Gravity Wiz retreat highlights. Plus, Product Configurator now supports Live Merge Tags, updates to the suite, and snippets for science. đ©âđŹ
Greetings, wizards!
Weâre back from our retreat and all caught up on support. Thanks for your patience! As much fun as the retreat was, it feels good to be back in our groove.
Weâve got a lot to share with you this week (per usual) but first⊠wanna see some pictures from the retreat!? đ
Wizard Retreat 2023
Our first retreat was an absolutely legendary success. It was the first time most of us had ever met in person. Weâre 100% invested in working remotely but, hot damn, there is such a unique magic about hanging out in the flesh â working together, sharing meals, SYNERGIZING!
I came home from this epic adventure with more confidence than ever that weâve got the best team of wizards in the world. The future of Gravity Wiz is bright!
The Freshest of Product Highlights
GS Product Configurator
Customizable WooCommerce products powered by Gravity Forms, deeply integrated with both ecosystems â it just works.
Product Configurator now supports Populate Anythingâs Live Merge Tags in cart and order item descriptions. Go forth and use Live Merge Tags boldly in your field labels. GSPC has your back. â
GP File Renamer
Automatically rename and organize files uploaded to Gravity Forms, powered by flexible templates with support for dynamic values.
The Master of the Naming Arts (aka File Renamer) got a new filter that makes global filename templates even better. If youâre looking for an easy way to assign the same naming template to all File Upload fields, this snippet (and the new filter that powers it) have you covered.
GP Populate Anything
Dynamically filter and populate field choices and values with posts, users, taxonomies, terms, Gravity Forms entries, and databases. Pretty much anything!
Two points worth đ pointing out this week.Â
1 â This new version sets the stage for some truly sorcerous performance enhancements when populating data from Google Sheets. Youâll need GP Google Sheets 1.0 to activate the magic so be on the lookout for its arrival next week.
2 â We donât call Populate Anything the Swiss Army Plugin for nothing â itâs incredibly flexible and works in tandem with dozens and dozens of other plugins. This week, we improved compatibility with Object Cache Pro, GF Image Choices, GravityView, GP Nested Forms, and GP Unique ID. Yeah, compatibility is kind of a big deal for us. đ

As always, checkout the full changelog below for all the wizardly details.
Spotlight: How Gravity Forms OpenAI is Helping Animals Find Fur-ever Homes
One roadblock animal rescue volunteers face that isnât so obvious is writerâs block. Writing persuasive adoption posts every day can become tedious, and the quality of the post can impact that animalâs chances of finding a home.
Derek Knox of Animal Rescue Cooperative (ARC) built an Gravity Forms OpenAI-powered tool for volunteers to write adoption letters for furry friends, and it has led to enormously paws-itive outcomes. đŸÂ
Using Gravity Forms fields, Derek requests a few details about each animal and adjusts the output for tone, length, and behavior, then lets Gravity Forms OpenAI handle the heavy lifting. It turns what could be hours of writing into a few minutes. Want to build something similar?
New Resources
New Snippet | Select All for Multi Selects
If thereâs a chance your users may actually need to select every option in your Multi Select field, doing it manually would be⊠painful. đŹ
This snippet provides an easy button to âSelect Allâ (and a separate button to Deselect All). Not only is this useful when you need to select all choices, itâs also a quick way to select most options by selecting all and then deselecting the few items you donât want. Much faster.
New Guide | How to Dynamically Populate Drop Down Fields
Werenât we just talking about how flexible Populate Anything is? This guide walks you through a variety of use cases for using Populate Anything to populate your Drop Down fields. Populate users, Gravity Forms entries, data from a custom database or Google Sheets. The world is your oyster. đŠȘ
Snippet for Science | Scientific Notation for Calculations
Are you a scientist? Are you building a form for a scientist? Do you like Bill Nye the Science Guy? If you answered yes to any of these questions, youâre going to love this one.
Use this snippet to display your calculation results in scientific notation. That means BIG numbers like `176,021,565,000` get simplified to much smaller numbers like `1.760e11`. Cool beans! đ€
