Migrating between Fluent Forms and Gravity Forms
This page lists what GravityMigrate does with each kind of Fluent Forms field and setting, in both directions, as read from the migration code itself. The tables are generated from the plugin, so they change when it does. For the steps, and for the wording of the report the wizard shows before it runs, see Migrating forms from another form plugin.
Checked against Fluent Forms 6.1.14.

Fields that arrive with a note
| Fluent Forms field | What the migration does |
|---|---|
net_promoter_score | A survey field going the other way becomes a tabular grid, which is the closest Fluent Forms has to a general survey. |
container | Layout rather than a field: the columns a row is arranged in, rebuilt from the Gravity Forms layout rather than written back as a field. |
quiz_score | A quiz result Fluent computes, which Gravity Forms has no core counterpart to write back. |
rangeslider | A Pro element with no Gravity Forms core equivalent to write back. |
rich_text_input | A Pro element; a paragraph field is written back instead, and another type already claims that. |
