F.ex. In order to manipulate data for a specific form with gform_pre_render I add the form id like this gform_pre_render_2.<br /> I am building the site on a local machine first, but then when I need to publish this to a live site, the forms have different ids and all my references are wrong.</p> <p>It would be awesome if there was a different way of targeting a specific form, maybe by a unique name like this: gform_pre_render_$unique_name.</p> <p>I am guessing that this is not possible, but it would be great if this could be built into Gravity forms. :-)</p> <p>Thanks<br /> Vayu </p>
