Launch Log: Usability improvements across the ‘Kit

This week’s releases focus on reliability fixes, better data handling, and meaningful usability improvements across GravityKit products. This includes a major update to GravityImport that reimagines field mapping and adds robust data validation for a more streamlined and seamless import process.

GravityBoard

GravityBoard v1.3.0 now supports richer organization on boards and resolves a few issues that affected accuracy and collaboration.

New support was added for displaying Gravity Forms Entry Tags as color-coded labels on board cards. These tags can be edited from the card detail view and used to filter the board, making it easier to group and scan related entries.

Several fixes improve correctness and usability. Date fields no longer display one day off when the WordPress timezone differs from UTC, and non-administrator users now appear correctly as assignees when their roles are selected in board settings.

GravityImport

GravityImport 2.8.0 is a major release that introduces a redesigned field mapping interface, pre-import validation warnings, and smarter auto-mapping to help catch issues earlier and reduce manual setup. Validation and parsing have also been improved, with better date detection, more accurate sampling, and safer field matching. The release includes accessibility enhancements and a critical fix for a PHP 8+ List field import error.

GravityMath

GravityMath v2.10.1 focuses on a targeted fix for shortcode behavior in GravityView contexts.

Merge tags used in [gravitymath] shortcode attributes, such as filter, are now correctly replaced when the shortcode appears inside a GravityView Custom Content field. This resolves cases where calculations or filters relying on dynamic values were not working as expected.

GravityView

GravityView v2.53 adds more control over Entry Notes display and resolves several issues affecting Edit Entry and file handling.

A new Entry Notes field setting allows filtering notes by type, making it possible to hide notification confirmations while showing only relevant user notes. This helps keep views focused on the information that matters.

Multiple Edit Entry Layout issues were fixed. Hidden fields now appear correctly when explicitly revealed via filters, multi-column List fields no longer show serialized data when revealed by conditional logic, and Next and Previous buttons now navigate properly on multi-page forms.

Additional fixes address the “Unapproved” entries filter blocking other plugins from modifying queries, and ensure File Upload secure links open files in the browser instead of forcing downloads. The Layout Builder template also now uses distinct CSS classes for single and multiple entry views, aligning it with other templates.

Developer updates

Two new filters were added for developers working with Entry Notes:

• gk/gravityview/field/notes/type-labels allows customization of note type labels,
• gk/gravityview/field/notes/default-types lets you modify which note types are available by default

In summary

This week’s releases include a mix of feature additions, reliability fixes, and usability improvements across GravityKit products. GravityImport received a major update with a redesigned field mapping experience and stronger data validation, while GravityBoard, GravityView, and GravityMath each saw targeted enhancements and fixes addressing common pain points and workflow issues.
