We need to add back-dated entries in GF for testing purposes with the entry data we are collecting. I looked for a way to edit the entry date in the GF interface, but it appears it’s not directly editable. Am I missing this option somewhere? I’ve searched for solutions and add-ons online along with the GF forums without finding a solution.
Is it possible to edit the entry date directly in the GF DB table or is another option available? Could I export the form and entries, edit the entry dates in the export files, and then import them? Would this break the entries in some way?
Thanks for your help!

There is no setting for changing the entry date from within the entry details page. Gravity Forms does not have an entry import feature, so unless you use an add-on like GravityImport, you won’t be able to import the entries after editing. You could edit the entry created date in the database; all entries can be found in the wp\_gf\_entry table.

Thanks for the reply @chrisegg!
We do have GravityKit so I’ll look at those options or edit the entries in the DB.
It would be useful to have the option to change the entry date on the GF entry details page. We need this backdated data because we are charting data collected in the GF forms and need to test historical data and dates in the charts.

GravityKit’s add-on GravityEdit worked for our purposes as we already have the plugin and it lets non-technical WP admins change the entry dates easily.
