Hi guys,

Is there any functionality at present for us to create our own custom complex fields similar to those of the address. i.e. can we group miscellaneous fields as a collection of some sort and re-deploy these at will.

The ability to use these groups in conditional logic would also help build really advanced forms where repeatable sections are involved.

I'm presuming this functionality is not available and if it isn't, any ideas on when such a feature might get introduced or worked on in the future ?

I'm looking for the same thing. I need to create and save my own advanced fields for my client to use. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible to create custom fields. All the hooks and filters necessary to do such a customization exist. However, it does require custom code and it's going to be quite an advanced customization.

We do not have an official tutorial on how to do this due to the complexity. It's not something we would want novices trying and then it will become a support issue. Customizations are customizations so we can assist with high level guidance but can't debug your customization, etc.

However, there is a tutorial available from a Gravity Forms user and developer that does discuss how to create custom fields in Gravity Forms. It's a good tutorial and will explain the basics of how to create and implement a custom field in the form editor as well as the front end. You can find this tutorial here:
