Hi,
in the GF dashboard I’m noticing the dropdown only contains some forms, others appear hidden. On my sites with lots of forms I figured that’s for performance reasons, but I’m noticing this on a site with only 4 forms. Is there a settings for this I missed? How does GF decide which forms show up under the dropdown?
Example of the dashboard page I’m talking about:
/wp-admin/admin.php?page=gf_entries
Thanks for any insight!
Since 2.9.6, the form switcher is only initially populated with up to 10 of the most recently edited forms.
Including all the forms was causing performance issues or critical/fatal memory errors on sites with lots of forms.
You can use the search input to access the other forms, it makes an Ajax request to get the choices for forms matching the text you enter.
If you really want the form switcher to include all forms on page load, you can do this using the gform_form_switcher_forms filter.
The filter can be used in the theme functions.php file, a custom plugin, or via a code snippets plugin.
Thanks for the insight, very helpful.
Here’s the strange part: I only have 4 forms on a site, but only 3 are showing in the dropdown (including one I’m already on).
Are there any other criteria that would leave a form off of it? If say a form is duplicated and never edited, does it not show up here based on the ‘last edited’ logic?
Thanks!
The recent forms list for the logged-in user is only updated by the form editor or when a listed form is trashed/deleted. Duplicating a form without editing it would not update the list.
