Can I change the max upload file size and file extension for an upload field?

Yes, the plugin offers 2 filters called vwtgf_converter_upload_file_size and vwtgf_converter_upload_file_extensions to customize the upload field.

Is it possible to update an existing form?

Yes, just paste the code of the webform into the input field and click the “Convert”, if the form already exists, the plugin will update the form.
The identifier for the form is the form publicid from vtiger webform which does not change after updating the webform in Vtiger.
Keep in mind, that the plugin overwrites the form fields and settings, so if you have made changes in the Gravity Forms editor, you will lose them.

Can I use the default Gravity Forms time field?

Vtiger create the time field as a normal input field. If you want to use the time field from Gravity Forms, you add the field manually after the conversion and change the admin label to the same as the Vtiger field.
Then you can delete the Vtiger time field in Gravity Forms.

Can I rearrange the fields?

Yes, you can drag and drop the fields in the gravity form editor.
IMPORTANT: After updating the form, the fields will be rearranged to the original order of the Vtiger webform.

I accidentally deleted an important field, can I re-add it?

Yes, you can re-add the field by pasting the Vtiger webform code again and click the “Convert” button.
Or you can add the field manually in the Gravity Forms editor, but keep in mind to set the admin label to the right value.

Can I enable multiple files for Vtiger upload fields?

No. Vtiger webform upload fields support single file uploads only. Imported upload fields are created as single upload fields in Gravity Forms. If a field is manually changed to allow multiple files, the plugin will skip that field during submission
and write a message to the PHP error log.

Why are default values from the Vtiger webform still submitted?

Default values from the Vtiger webform are imported into Gravity Forms and are not overwritten by this plugin. If you do not want a default value to be submitted, remove the value from the Vtiger webform before importing or updating the Gravity Form.
There is a known Vtiger issue where deleted default values may remain in the webform data. In that case the stale value has to be cleaned up in the Vtiger database.
