Why did "Edit this form" link get removed?

  1. And how do I get it back? Ideally, I'd like to be able to specify which logged in users see the link, or have the link only show to users who have permissions that allow them to edit the forms.

  2. The Edit Form link was removed in Gravity Forms v1.6 because we had far more complaints, questions, etc. related to it then the feature appeared to be worth.

    I think you are the first user i've encountered to give it a thumbs up, that isn't a negative. I just usually hear from users that they dislike that we output it or it's presence confuses them because they think everybody can see it.

    What we may be able to do is implement a hook that allows you to re-enable this feature if desired.

  3. Carl - that would be way cool. I miss not being able to go directly from looking at a form to the edit screen in one click. What would really be cool is to add a link to the WP admin bar that says "Edit this Form", similar to "Edit this Page".

    Thanks.

    I don't miss this, but another idea might be to add EDIT THIS FORM -> FORM NAME to the admin bar for any form that is present on the page/post
