Carl Hancock By Carl Hancock Published December 12, 2014

Gravity Forms v1.9 Beta 5 is now available via automatic update and the customer downloads page. Automatic updates will only occur if you are already running a beta version of Gravity Forms v1.9.

Gravity Forms v1.9 is a major feature release and we would like as many people as possible helping us test these beta releases. We’ll even give you swag and an extension of your license for doing so! Check out this blog post for more information.

For support issues or bug reports for Gravity Forms v1.9 Beta 5 please submit your request via the Beta Support request form.

For a complete rundown of everything that is new in Gravity Forms v1.9 please see the Beta 1 Release Announcement.

What’s New in Gravity Forms v1.9 Beta 5

  • Added HTML5 support for date field when configured with input type “date field”.
  • Added the {save_token} merge tag to allow custom resume links to be constructed.
  • Added gform_form_args hook to allow modification of the options used to display the form.
  • Added support for :title, :caption, and :description modifiers to Post Image field merge tag.
  • Updated select, radio and checkbox type pricing fields to use 0 for price if choice price is blank, preventing validation error.
  • Fixed issue where entry object was getting passed to gform_after_submission without payment information.
  • Fixed an issue where exporting lead data for checkbox fields did not work when the choice label included quotes.
  • Fixed an issue with list field shim when RTL was enabled.
  • Fixed an issue with section breaks getting displayed on {all_fields_display_empty} even when hidden by conditional logic.
  • Fixed an issue with the results page where the ‘show more’ link retrieves duplicate values if some values of that field are empty.
  • Fixed an issue with the field filters where clicking on the add button creates two empty filters instead of one.
  • Fixed issue with RTL support for enhanced-UI-enabled fields.
  • Fixed an issue with the multi-file upload field where the paths to the uploaded files can get removed from the entry if a third party add-on processes the entry before Gravity Forms. This fixes a compatibility issue with the Gravity Perks Conditional Logic Perk.
  • Fixed issue with total field not refreshing field value cache when saved.
  • Fixed conflict with WP-reCAPTCHA plugin.
  • Fixed a compatibility issue with ACF PRO in the wp visual editor.
  • Fixed an issue with the file upload field on certain server configurations where the following error might be generated: “an error occurred while processing this directive”.
  • Fixed a security issue with the file upload field.
  • Fixed an issue with the shortcode builder which prevented the placeholder from being selectable in select type attributes. This affects the action drop-down.
