Problem
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.
Although you can edit Gravity Forms entries, it is not possible to change the entry date from within the entry editor.
While I am not sure why you would need to do this outside of some testing, as this specific user mentioned, I decided to see if I could find a simple solution and found two.
Solution
Fortunately, I was able to come up with two solutions: a code and a no-code solution.
1. No Code: GravityExport Add-On
This solution does require purchasing an add-on from GravityKit called GravityEdit.
Once this plugin is installed, you can enable it within the form settings. Then you can change the different field values for your entries from within the Entry list page.
2. Code: A Custom WordPress Plugin
This is a custom plugin I created that will add a new meta box to the entry details page so that you can change the entry date.
To use this code, you can either copy the code and add it to a code snippet plugin like WPCodeBox or install it like a normal WordPress plugin.
You can download the zip file here if you choose to install the plugin.
