Gravity Flow Parent-Child Forms Extension 1.5
Wordpress Plugins Gravity Flow 4.8 (4.6K reviews)
The Gravity Flow Parent-Child Forms Extension adds a structured data layer to Gravity Forms. It lets you define one form as the parent and connect multiple other forms as children. A parent record might represent a client, project, or product, while child records hold tasks, contacts, or variations. This is not a separate form builder; it works entirely within the tools you already use. The extension creates a clear relationship between entries and keeps related information grouped under a single record. That makes complex submissions easier to manage and gives your workflows a logical hierarchy that mirrors real-world structures. Instead of forcing everything into a flat list of submissions, you can organize data the way it actually exists in your business. The parent record stays in charge, and every child entry is visibly attached to it. This approach cuts down on duplicate entry and makes it far simpler to find, update, and report on related records.
With the extension installed, you can configure a child form to point to a parent form. You can also attach several distinct child forms to a single parent form, so a project record can collect tasks, budgets, and communication threads as separate sets of child entries. Users submit one parent entry, then add multiple child entries to it in a single submission. This removes the need to re-enter common details. Conditional logic from Gravity Forms still applies, so child fields can appear or hide depending on values from the parent entry. The plugin also validates child entries against their parent context to keep data consistent. Every linked entry is stored securely within WordPress, and access goes through the same user permissions you already use. The relationship between entries stays traceable from both sides, so you can see all children under a parent or locate the parent from any child. All of this happens inside the standard Gravity Forms entry list.

Themify
Because it runs alongside Gravity Flow, the extension fits into automated workflows. A workflow can create child entries, update them, or route them through approval steps based on parent data. This matters for applications like client portals, project tracking, inventory systems, and support ticketing, where each main record needs sub-records attached. You decide which forms act as parents and which act as children, and you can connect several child forms to one parent form. Compatibility covers current versions of WordPress, Gravity Forms, and Gravity Flow, and the plugin requires PHP 7.0 or higher. It runs in all modern browsers and is built to handle large numbers of linked entries without slowing your site. Conditional logic works with these relationships, so child forms can behave differently depending on parent entry values. The link between parent and child is stored as part of the entry data, which keeps the connection stable even after updates.
Configuration happens inside the WordPress dashboard. Once Gravity Forms and Gravity Flow are active, the form editor shows new options for linking forms. You choose the parent form, select which fields relate to one another, and set how child entries appear. Common actions, such as editing or deleting entries, continue to work in the usual way. Several display settings let you control the order of child entries, and a filter hook gives developers a way to customize child entry output. The plugin uses standard WordPress database tables, so there is no separate system to maintain. The interface stays familiar because it uses the same layout as the rest of the form editor. You can also link entries to custom post types created by other plugins, extending the feature beyond standard Gravity Forms entries. Regular updates have improved error handling, added filters, and fixed issues around duplicate entries and conditional logic. Performance stays consistent even for sites with large collections of linked submissions.
