I was about to post that I couldn't edit fields because nothing happened when I clicked the 'edit' link. After de and re - activating plugins it turns out my SimpleMap plugin is creating a conflict. I'll be modifying that plugin and removing it from admin entirely, so my problem will be solved but I figured I'd notify both authors. The author can be found at http://simplemap-plugin.com/

Thanks! We will take a look. It's most like an issue they will need to resolve. It's best not to output any javascript in the admin unless it's required and SimpleMap javascript isn't required on any of the Gravity Forms pages so they shouldn't be outputting their JS on those pages.

Oddly enough I was able to install the latest version of SimpleMap and have it run fine with Gravity Forms. I was able to edit fields, etc. But I do see a lot of SimpleMap related javascript being output on every Admin page... which could be causing a problem with your site's configuration and plugin combinations.
It's a best practice to only output Javascript on the page when it's necessary, unfortunately a lot of plugins output their Javascript in the admin all the time instead of selectively doing so. This is the source of most conflicts, which is a shame as it is usually avoidable if you create your plugin the right way.

Is there a relatively simple way to limit there code on admin pages or even add a conditional to it so it doesn't interfere with others?
I'll try to find the conflict, but what variable names, etc. should I be looking for?
The conflict might be that I'm running WPMU and trunk.

Yes, there is a way to use a conditional and only display things such as javascript only on necessary pages. Here is an article on Javascript best practices and WordPress:
