Multiple Saved Excel Exports and with Conditional Logic (Feature Request)

@websherpa Yes, that makes perfect sense ??

Just to make the filter more productive I’ve added an issue to my todo list to add the $form data, so that we can make a more robust version of this script.

but I was assuming that the Custom GF Excel Entries URLs runs its own code ONLY for the addressed Form (and so was hoping the routine and search parameters might only be applied by default there (since the result generated is only the one same form).

This is true, when you download the file via the url, the filters are only applied on THAT form. There is no difference in performance with or without the id, it’s just that we can’t assume all fields have the same id (unless you copy your forms, like you do :-)), so thats why we add the form id, so we can be 100% sure the field id’s match up.

But like I said, with that extra param that i will introduce in the next version you can check that id programatically. Then we only need one filter ??

Should we consider this issue resolved for now?

Thank you, I understand.

For other’s benefits, of course the Field IDs would need to correspond to apply the same filter to different forms, however there is no need to create form specific add_filter’s since you can simply define custom subset filters for specific Forms within the one general function itself if you wish. Logically you are choosing the specific subset from your own code to apply for the form you are addressing in the URL.

Ultimately though, since multiple Conditional Logic is provided by example contained in Gravity Form’s own Import /Export plugin, one might assume that that is the logical extension into the GUI for this purpose.

THank you again!

Hi @websherpa,

I just wanted to comment on this real quick.

Ultimately though, since multiple Conditional Logic is provided by example contained in Gravity Form’s own Import /Export plugin, one might assume that that is the logical extension into the GUI for this purpose.

Sure, the GUI exists, and the underlying code is exactly how this plugin works. And there are plans to integrate this plugin with the normal export function. Reason I haven’t made a GUI for this is that it already exists. I don’t want to duplicate GF’s code and functions.

However, the use case you ask for (multiple sets of filters) does NOT exist. So the GUI wouldn’t do you any good, since this is just one set.

I believe that this course of action is the most reasonable for the plugin. I would be willing to make an add on that allows for this GUI and behavior. But that would become a paid add on. Hope that makes sense.

Kind regards,

Doeke

Works perfectly fine for me as well

Thannk you !
