Overview
This WordPress plugin enhances the Advanced Custom Fields (ACF) functionality by allowing editorial users or administrators to select a Gravity Form within their field group configuration. Though it does not affect the website's frontend, modify existing form outputs, or display forms, it introduces a custom ACF field type specifically for backend use. The plugin’s documentation is comprehensive and available on its GitHub repository. Additionally, the development version 1.3.2 includes a plain HTML filter applicable to the field output, albeit not for ACF version 4. This tool is ideal for backend customization, ensuring seamless integration with Gravity Forms in the ACF ecosystem.

Having this plugin active results in the Gravity Forms Signature add-on to break. You cannot use both.

For days I’ve been having issues with addons for Gravity Forms where they suddenly stopped showing the fields. Only title and description. The native GF fields worked fine, but any third party ones stopped working. Fields I confirmed were not compatible: Gravity Perks Nested Forms and Slim Image Cropper for Gravity Forms.
I’ve been going through code looking for a solution and googling results. I identified that the fields were not using the right class. They were all using “GF_Field”, the basic class. They should have been using “GF_Field_Nested_Form” for example. The cause was that Gravity Forms was being called too early by this plugin. And that was caching forms before all the plugins have loaded and registered their fields.
There’s a pull request which fixes the problem but it has not been released. That was submitted in 2018. It’s the end of 2019 and has not been pushed as a release.
I uninstalled this plugin and replaced the Forms ACF field with a number input where you manually enter the form id. Everything is suddenly working.
Don’t combine this plugin with third party GF extensions.
