I tried this script, but it doesn't seem to save changes I make to radio buttons. I wonder if it's a problem because of the version of Gravity Forms I'm using which is 2.3.1.

UPDATE 6/1/2018:
Thank you to David Smith for version 1.3. It fixed the problem I was having with the radio buttons not updating.

works fine for me, but I don´t manage to get it to work together with the plugin gravity wiz gp limit submissions. Only counts one.

I noticed that this doesn't seem to work with file upload fields...

Could this be modified to automatically update an existing entry, by putting the entry ID into a hidden field?

Your code works perfect but it does not show file uploads when editing gravity form. Can you help? Let me know.

Thanks for this wonderfull script. I only have one question. It loads the data up really nice but it doesnt reload the checkbox answers. Is this something I can fix myself?

@ginodp Possibly something AI could fix for you! This is pretty old code though. If you wanted a supported solution, Easy Passthrough is the ticket.
