So, the entry will be stored in its original format with all the fields, and the notification will be sent with all the fields. You will be using the gform_after_submission hook to delete just specific fields from the entries. Does that clarify things? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/automatic-deletion-of-specific-form-data-after-submission#post-186455 Wed, 27 Mar 2013 06:41:47 +0000 mail@ensodesign.co.uk 186455@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Thanks David. That's really helpful. I'll take a look at some of the code samples. Just so I understand this correctly, if I use gform_after_submission to strip out specific fields after submission, by definition does this mean these fields will be removed from all confirmation emails and the entries log in the database? My client has since asked if the code could be more specific and only remove particular fields from the admin confirmation email and database entries log but send the entire form with all fields included for the end user confirmation email.

You'd require some intermediate level PHP knowledge to do this. Others on the forum have done this before and you might be able to find some code samples or some people that have the knowledge you need.</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_after_submission</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/automatic-deletion-of-specific-form-data-after-submission#post-185120 Tue, 26 Mar 2013 06:25:20 +0000 mail@ensodesign.co.uk 185120@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi there,<br /> Bit of an usual question. A client of mine has a will planning form which contains user defined financial information. The form states to the end user that none of this information will be stored by my client. So they've asked whether there's an option to have certain fields automatically deleted after submission. I can't think of how this would be possible for individual fields and even deleting the whole form apart from a admin user going in and deleting the whole entry from within Wordpress database. So was just wondering if there were any options I'm unaware of to tackle this.<br /> Many thanks,<br /> Phil </p>
