What it does

Collecting repeatable data in a single form submission is tricky with standard fields. Nested Forms lets you embed any Gravity Forms form as a child inside a parent form, so users can add multiple grouped entries — like team members, line items, or work shifts — before submitting.

Users fill out each child entry through a modal popup. Those entries appear in a compact table on the parent form, where they can be edited before final submission. You can pass data between parent and child forms, run calculations on child entry values, and control when notifications or integrations fire.

It works for anyone who needs to gather a variable number of structured records in one go — event organizers, HR teams, sales teams building quotes, or anyone collecting line-item data.
