Gravity Forms Repeater Plugin

Last modified on

If there is one feature missing from Gravity Forms, that is a field repeater section. A way to set a starting and ending point and adding fields inside a repeater. Turns out this functionality exists in Gravity Forms, but in a beta state.

If you search for existing plugins, you’ll probably find not more than a handful of plugins, all either paid or part of a larger/bundle plugin, probably not worth investing in.

? Hey! Did you see my Gravity Forms Date/Time Picker plugin?

I needed a repeater for a client project and I needed it to work with the latest release of Gravity Forms, 2.5. A great release with an overhauled UI. Still, the repeater functionality is not there.

As I had one week to implement his functionality, I started my coding adventure. Based on several tutorials, some code snippets and an old WordPress plugin, I cobbled together a fully working* plugin.

* For my specific scenario.

As seen in the screenshots above, I have styled the repeater fields differently, in order to make them stand out. For a long and complex form, it might get confusing pretty quickly.

.gform_wrapper.gravity-theme div.gf_repeater2_child_field,
.gform_wrapper.gravity-theme fieldset.gf_repeater2_child_field {
    margin: 0 64px;
    padding: 16px 64px;
    border-left: 3px solid #ff002b;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.05);
}
