ALSO: Pods Gravity Forms 2.0 is still in development and it brings complete compatibility with the latest Gravity Forms releases. We could use your support to help it get over the finish line this year. Please consider donating to the Pods project to help us get there more quickly.

1.4.5 – July 22nd, 2022

• Tested against WP 6.0
• Added: Not seeing something map correctly? As a site admin, you now have the power to debug the form submission and see what might be going on. Add ?pods_gf_debug_gf_to_pods=1 to the URL of the form action before submitting to take advantage of the admin-only debug mode. This will output the values as they would be sent to Pods, the entry information used to reference it, and the feed options used at the time. It will stop the form from completely saving to Pods so you can tweak and debug your form feeds however much you’d like to perfect them. (@sc0ttkclark)
• Fixed: Conditional checks for feeds has been resolved and now won’t get confused when there are multiple feeds for the same form in certain cases. (@sc0ttkclark)
• Fixed: Additional compatibility with Gravity Flow. #157 (@JoryHogeveen)

Complete testing will be done at that time to ensure complete compatibility.
