GWW 313: Formula Finders

Greetings, wizards!

Q2 is winding down just as the summer is heating up for us stateside Americans. We’ve got at least one more surprise in store for you this quarter — maybe two if my air conditioner doesn’t quit on me. 🫠

But before summer melts my productivity entirely, let’s get into this week’s wizardry. 🪄

New: Advanced Conditional Logic Beta 1

As was foretold in newsletters of old (ok, last week), Advanced Conditional Logic Beta 1 (GPACL) has arrived!

This sorcerous plugin completely reimagines Gravity Forms conditional logic from the ground up with…

• Flexible and/or groups (for fine-tuned conditions)
• Interdimensional date and time logic
• Secure user-based rules (like logged-in status, role, and user meta)
• New and magical operators (like is in)
• And more, more, more!

While Beta 1 is primarily focused on stability, we did sneak in one enhancement. 😏

When you delete a field that other fields depend on for conditional logic, you’ll now get a full summary of every impacted field. Super helpful — especially on forms with complex conditional logic dependencies.

Ready to advance your conditional logic into the future?

Top Picks: Product Updates

GP Bookings
✦ Turn Gravity Forms into your complete WordPress booking platform.

We added a new “Show two months” setting to the Booking Time field for displaying two months side-by-side. Particularly useful when booking dates across two months.

GP Date Time Calculator
✦ Use Date and Time fields in your Gravity Forms calculations.

Feels a bit strange featuring an update to a deprecated product. Everything that once required Date Time Calculator can now be done with Advanced Calculations. But the number one request we received in response to the deprecation announcement was:

Could you make it easier to migrate from Date Time Calculator to Advanced Calculations? 🙏

We are but humble wizards, here to assist our customers in even the most mundane quests, so we cast a few spells and came up with the GPDTC Formula Finder.

Formula Finder finds all fields with formulas powered by GPDTC and, if you have a WP 7.0+ AI Connector setup, it can even suggest the new Advanced Calculations-compatible version of each formula — with one-click implementation.

Here’s a quick demo of how it works:

GC API Alchemist
✦ Connect Gravity Forms to any API — push, pull, and populate live data.

One of the most powerful ways to use API Alchemist is to combine it with Populate Anything (GPPA) to dynamically populate data from any API as choices or values in your form.

This week, we added PHP-based property ordering support for GPPA endpoints. This is clutch when populating remote data as choices, allowing you to control the order those choices will appear.

How To: Add a Slider to Gravity Forms

GP Sliders makes adding a slider to Gravity Forms so easy that you don’t need this article to get started. But trust me — you want to read this article. It’s packed with pro tips and loads of inspiration to get the juices flowing. And we all love juicy sliders. 🍔

New Snippet: Option Groups for Drop Down Fields

This is a sweet, low-tech snippet that lets you create option groups in your Drop Down fields by simply wrapping a choice value in brackets.

That means something like this:

Simple magic is the best kind. ✨
