Hello.
I am trying to apply a newly created custom field in my form. (Gravity Forms v1.6.1)
However, when I press on "Select an existing custom field" the newly created custom field does not show up.
Furthrtemore, some old custom feilds that I have deleted still show up...

The custom fields that appear in the Gravity Forms drop down should be the same as those in the post editor under custom fields. They work the same way. Is that not the case for you?
You might have to type in the name of the custom field if it's the first time using it. So long as the key name is the same, it will be fine.

I am using wootheme's Content Builder to make the custom fields. No, they are not the same as the ones that are shown in the Content builder. GF seems to have "stuck" to a previous list of custom fields that I had a week ago. Should this alarm me?
When you say "You might have to type in the name of the custom field if it's the first time using it" do you mean I should choose "New" instead of "Existing" and type the name of the (already existing) custom field in?Posted 12 years ago on Sunday November 13, 2011 | Permalink -
I'm not familiar with the Woo content builder. When you add custom fields to a post, so long as the field has a value and is saved, it becomes an 'active' custom field, and should appear in the drop down in Gravity Forms. It's not related to the Woo functionality at all. Is it possible the custom fields have been created in the Woo content builder, and have not yet been used on any posts?
Yes, select New instead of Existing, and type it in. It will work the same.
Also, custom fields that begin with an underscore (like _custom_field) will not appear in the drop down, but can be used as well. A lot of those types of fields are used by themes and plugins. The underscore hides them in the post editor, and in Gravity Forms.

OK, It worked.
Thank you.
And, yes, now that it has been used, the custom field shows up.Posted 12 years ago on Monday November 14, 2011 | Permalink -
Very good. Glad that resolved your issue.
