I am using a gravity forms plugin and it takes long to edit the entries or data from the plugin interface itself. I can export data as a csv file and edit it in excel or any other csv supporting application. Now the thing is how can I import the data back into gravity forms without creating duplicates and only updated the fields I have edited? Or is there a plugin that can be used to import the data back and only update the fields I have edited?
Your assistance would be highly appreciated
I haven't used this before but I wanted to at least share it's existence with you.

A few people I know who have used it say that it does a great job with simple form data but for more complex field types, it doesn't hold up as well.

I have a PDF form with a table where multiple students information is to filled, as shown in the screen screenshot.
The traditional way to do is open PDF with acrobat and go to Form > Manage Form Data > Import Data.
Can we do it using PHP? Is it possible? Any hint, thanks in advance.
I have searched the internet but everywhere it is being told to fill the form fields. Couldn't find any solution specifying filling data into table.
I have a tournament with multiple divisions and multiple forms for which I use gravity forms.
There are times when someone requests to be changed to a different division. However, I am unable to move the competitor from one division to another in gravity forms, as the divisions are each using a different form ID (and they have still not developed a method for helping with this).
How would I go about moving a SINGLE ENTRY from one gravity form to another forms entry list please.
We have many teams at the tournament, so mass export and import is not what i am looking to achieve. Its about being able to move a single entry from one list of entries in one form to another forms list of entries?
ANY help would be greatly appreciated. Even a simple "use this method" in general terms will help me greatly. Would I use some form of JQuery fiddle, a php script, an sql script or what please as Import Entries is not available currently in GF

You can not do that, but instead maybe you shold design your form to include all types of submissions logic. I mean you can put a drop-down field at the beginning of your form. Then you can use https://gravityview.co/ to edit your single entry field.
I have a workaround for this which i am using in one of my current projects for http://projects.dzign-r.com.au and that is,
1) export both of the the forms (i.e the one from which you need the field to move and the other to which you need this field to be moved to) and it exports these as json files
2) search for the field ID that you need to be moved to another form, cut its json code from the json file and paste it in the other form's json file where you need it to be moved to
3) then import the form back. and test it to make sure it works as you want it, (as a caution you may change the field ID after you paste it in new form to be something which is not used in this form already).
4) once u see everything is fine u may just delete the old form?
How do I fill out my drupal webform automatically, I have 500 entries to fill out and I can't do it one by one. I try to fill it out automatically directly to phpmyadmin in drupal Database but it doesn't work beacause drupal add more fields in his database (in webform_ submitted_data) so I think it's possible to use a script or use a module to fill it out but I don't know how
The best module to do it, it's webform import very helpful
Allows delimited data files to be imported as submission (results) into webforms.
This is useful for importing submissions from other systems in to Webform. Can also be used to Edit submissions via Export / Import as long as the CSV has the SID column filled.
You can use drupal_form_submit() to submit a webform. See this answer over at drupal.stackexchange.com for instructions.
When you've got that working, it should just be a matter of looping over the webforms you want to fill in.
There is a sandbox module for that: Webform Autofill. But I 've never used it so I can be sure it works.
If you have never used a sandbox module you can see more details at the drupal sandbox modules documentation.
I have planned to create tables for dynamic datafields. My concept is to store a dynamic form data inside tables(MySQL). The user can select any number of fields(datatypes) from form.The form is a dynamic form one seen in here . How can we design dB in order to save user's data dynamically?
Can you not just allow for fields within the database to be null. That way when you save the form if any fields have not been filled it doesn't throw an error
Seems, you need to implement EAV data model wiki link Also, there are some ready solutions
some project on github
EAV behaviour on bakery, also one of project from github
expandable behaviour
I am struggling to find out if I can do this but I have a cakephp form with many input fields and when submitted I write them to a text file I can add fields in dynamically here by clicking a button but:
My question is if I have an admin page how do I get that to dynamically add fields to the page and make them stay there forever not just for that session?
Really stuck figuring out how to do this any guidance would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Make them persistent. You need to store the form and the fields it has: "Form hasMany FormField". The fields should describe a type so that the FormHelper will render the correct inputs.
When you want to display the form read that information from the db again and render the form according to your stored information.
I am guessing you already have a javascript function that dynamically adds the field to your admin page. Is that correct?
I don't use CakePHP, but a general workaround I use is to use the javascript function to at the same time update a table in the database that stores the form layout.
