Parent-Child Forms Extension

The Parent-Child Forms extension allows administrators to connect related entries across multiple forms. This is useful when a single “parent” record needs to collect supplementary submissions, reviews, or data points from one or more “child” forms as part of a broader process.

Key Capabilities

Link Multiple Entries to a Single Parent
Define Parent-Child relationships so secondary forms can be submitted and automatically linked to a specific parent entry. This keeps related data organized, traceable, and visible in one place.

Submit Child Entries from Within the Workflow
While viewing a parent entry on the workflow detail page (front-end or admin) or the Gravity Forms entry detail page, users can create a new child entry directly. Linked child entries appear in a dedicated sidebar box regardless of step or status.

Navigate Between Related Entries
Parents display all associated child entries. Child entries display a reference back to the parent and a list of sibling entries, making it easy to move between related submissions during review.

Embed Child Forms in Pages
Child forms can also be embedded on standard WordPress pages. By passing the workflow_parent_entry_id parameter in the URL, any submission on that page will automatically attach to the corresponding parent entry.
