Modifier :sanitize_html_class

Make it CSS class names. Example: {Company:101:sanitize_html_class} gives Acme Widgets Co bNorthb Branch serving the Tri-County area since 1923. On the test form, this field is {Company:101} (Single line text).

About

Removes the characters a class name cannot hold. Spaces stay, so each word becomes a class of its own.

Works in any merge tag while GravityView is active, including Gravity Forms notifications.

Works on

Form fields: Single line text · Paragraph text · Email · Website · Hidden · Signature · Drop down · Radio buttons · Checkboxes, one choice · Multi select · Image choice · Multiple choice · Post category · Number · Product · Product price · Quantity · Option · Shipping · Shipping (single) · Total · Date, after a custom format · Time · Name, one part · Address, one part · Phone, standard format · File upload · Post image · List.

Left out

Field kinds	Why
Consent · Calculation · Product (single) · Product (hidden) · Name · Address	Outputs nothing on the whole field. Gravity Forms has no single value for this field as a whole, so the tag outputs nothing and so does any modifier. Use one part instead, like .3 for a first name.
Checkboxes · Repeater	Skipped on the whole field. This field is stored as several values, which GravityView skips and GravityMath cannot total. Use one input instead, like .3 for a first name.
Date	Needs a date format first. GravityView would change the stored date (2024-03-19), which has no letters. Add “Custom date format” or “Relative time” first.
Phone, international format	Works on the stored record. An international phone field stores a record like {"country":"US",…}. GravityView would change that record, not the number people see.
