Add-on: Update Multiple Entries
Update Multiple Entries is a Gravity Forms add-on that updates matching entries in a target form when someone submits a trigger form. You select the entries with conditions, set the new values with merge tags from both forms, and large batches are processed in the background. Use it to change a status, price or date in hundreds or thousands of entries at once, without code.
What you can do with Update Multiple Entries
- Select the entries to update with AND and OR rules in Target Entry Conditions.
- Set new values with
{target:1}for a value of the entry being updated, and normal merge tags for values of the trigger entry. - Change values with Advanced Merge Tags modifiers such as
gwp_replace,gwp_caseandgwp_date_format. - Add several feeds to one trigger form, each with its own target form and condition.
- Update large numbers of entries in background chunks that stay within the PHP time limit.
- Follow the result in entry notes, send a notification per updated entry, and run feeds as a Gravity Flow step.
Where to start
- Feed Settings: choose the target form, the conditions and the field mapping.
- Target Form Merge Tags: use values of the entry being updated.
Requirements
- Gravity Forms 2.5 or later
- WordPress 5.0 or later
- PHP 7.0 or later
- Optional: Advanced Merge Tags, for modifiers in field values, and Gravity Flow, for the workflow step

How to add and configure Update Multiple Entries actions in your Form Settings.
Target Form Merge Tags
When configuring your Update Multiple Entries action, you may want to use (or do something with) values from the Target Form itself. You can do that by using 'target' inside the Merge Tag.
Updating date fields
When updating date fields using 'Add Custom Value', it's important that you update the field in the correct date format: Y-m-d.
