Migrating between Forminator and Gravity Forms
This page lists what GravityMigrate does with each kind of Forminator 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 Forminator 1.57.0.
