I don't want entries for a specific form - how to do it?

    Hi,

    I have a form ("Tell your friend about us"), where the customer can send a message/form to her/his friend, and can also modify the message text. So, the message is private, and I DON'T want to collect entries of these messages. The user believes, that the message goes only to her friend.

    So, can I and how, disable collecting entries to the Gravity admin from a specific (not all forms) form? Or do I have to use some other form plugin...?

    Thanks in advance :).

  3. As @goodwebsites pointed out above, currently you can only do this via a simple customization. It does require custom code but the amount of code is minimal and is outlined in that forum post.

    The good news is we will be adding this as a built in Form Settings option. The Entry will still be created, because things such as Add-Ons as well as customizations rely on entry data the way they work.

    HOWEVER what we will do is if the option is enabled then Gravity Forms will then automatically delete the entry as the final step in the form processing. This will provide backwards compatibility with existing official and 3rd party add-ons while still allowing you to not retain entries.

    The code example at the forum post @goodwebsites links to above will accomplish the same thing via a simple customization.

    Hi guys, thanks a lot for answering, they came right on time after waiting quite a while :).

    I'm glad to hear that you are going to add this feature in future updates, I think many will use it.
