Gravity Forms Event Field Changelog

This update fixes Event fields blocking submissions and GravityCalendar calendars showing no events, along with several date picker and timezone issues.

Note: Gravity Forms Event Field now requires WordPress 6.5 or newer.

🐛 Fixed

• Forms with an Event field whose End Date input was turned off could not be submitted and showed an "Event must have an end date" error (such events now end on the day they start).
• A single entry with an unrecognized Timezone value caused GravityCalendar calendars that included it to show no events and their subscription links to return an error (such entries now use the site's timezone).
• Date picker issues:
  • Past dates could be selected;
  • Picking a start date did not update the end date on Gravity Forms 2.x.
• Submitting a repeating event with a malformed Timezone value could cause a server error on PHP 8.
• Editing an entry could silently reset its Timezone to the first option in the list when the saved value was not among the available choices.
• Default values and placeholders set for Event field inputs in the form editor did not appear on the form and were erased when the form was saved.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.35.0.

This release fixes the Event field's values not being saved, and its time and repeat controls not responding, on multi-page and AJAX-enabled forms.

Note: Gravity Forms Event Field now requires PHP 7.4 or newer.

🐛 Fixed

• The Event field's date, time, and other values were not saved when the field appeared on a multi-page form, or when the form was redisplayed after a validation error.
• The "All Day Event" toggle did not hide the time fields, and the repeat frequency and end controls did not update, when the Event field appeared on an AJAX-enabled or multi-page form.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.30.0.

This release gives developers the context needed to customize how repeating events are scheduled, and corrects an end date appearing on single-day events in entry lists.

🐛 Fixed

• Fixes an end date appearing on single-day events listed after a multi-day event, even when the End Date input is turned off.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.28.0.

💻 Developer Updates

• The gk/field-event/cron-value filter now also receives the selected repeat frequency, the event's start date and timestamp, whether the event runs all day, and the start time. Existing callbacks that accept only the first parameter continue to work.
• Documented the gk/field-event/inputs, gk/field-event/input-name, and gk/field-event/input-wrapper-classes filters, each available since 1.1.0.

This release fixes forms with an Event field failing to submit on Gravity Forms 3.0.

🐛 Fixed

• Submitting a form containing an Event field on Gravity Forms 3.0+ returned a blank page with no confirmation, and saved an entry containing none of the submitted data.

💻 Developer Updates

• The plugin now uses current GravityView hooks instead of ones deprecated in GravityView 2.55.

🔧 Updated

• Foundation to version 1.27.0.

This release includes internal component updates and bug fixes for improved stability and compatibility.

• Fatal error that could occur when the PHP Intl extension is missing.
