`GF_Field`

Class GF_Field

This class provides the base functionality for developers when creating new fields for Gravity Forms. It facilitates the following: Adding a button for the field to the form editor Defining the field title to be used in the form editor Defining which settings should be present when editing the field Registering the field as compatible with conditional logic Outputting field scripts to the form editor and front-end Defining the field appearance on the front-end, in the form editor and on the entry detail page Validating the field during submission Saving the entry value Defining how the entry value is displayed when merge tags are processed, on the entries list and entry detail pages Defining how the entry value should be formatted when used in csv exports and by framework based add-ons
