@bamadesigner asked:
Is there a way to export lead checkbox values from @gravityforms into one column as a CSV instead of a column for each checkbox? #WordPress
— Rachel Carden (@bamadesigner) August 2, 2015
I cooked up a quick snippet (using the gform_export_fields filter) to allow you to not only export checkboxes but all multi-input fields in a single column.
What are multi-input fields? They’re fields like the Checkbox field, Name Field, Address field, Multi Select field, etc. Out of the box, Gravity Forms allows you export the individual inputs of these fields in separate column but not all of the inputs in a single column.
Use this snippet to automatically add a “top level” option that will export all inputs for this field in a single column.
How do I install this?
- Click the “Download Plugin” button at the top of this page.
- Upload the downloaded plugin zip file via your WordPress admin (full instructions).

Hey David,
Do you know if this still works with the latest version of GF? I’ve tried adding the code to our child themes functions.php file, and also tried the plugin. Neither option works. Your old screenshots no longer work so I can’t see where to check for a new field etc. Could you please add screenshots to the article?
Thank you
Hi Shaun,
I just did a test and I can confirm the snippet still works. After adding the snippet to the function.php file, you should see a top-level option that similar to the screenshot here, In that screenshot, the multi-input field is a checkbox field and the checkbox field has been made available by the snippet for selection to export all the choices selected for that field in a single column.
I hope this helps.
Best,
