GravityWP – Merge Tags

Description

This Gravity Forms plugin adds an admin page to your WordPress back-end with a list of all the merge tags in your form.

Besides that it gives you information (in different tabs) about field types (for example text, radio, hidden, select, email, checkbox, etc), Standard Gravity Forms Merge Tags (and for GravityView and Gravity Flow), a replacement for the all_fields Merge Tag (with or without fileuploads) and Gravity Flow Step information.

So… no more clicking on a dropdown to select the merge tag you need, but just copy and paste it from the list. And have a quick overview of all relevant information available for every specific Gravity Form on your site, copy it to Excel and use it in a way that suits your needs.

The plugin adds a link in the toolbar above the Gravity Form you’re working on and a menu link in de Forms submenu.

Just what I needed! All the merge tags info on one page - the more I worked with it the more I loved it! Even has an extra tab with meta merge tags. Had a project building custom PDF documents with GF data and this plugin is super handy to have. Thank you!
