Would it be possible to modify this code to work with a multiselect field? So that for every selected value in a multiselect a new submission with only one value is created?

Or even in combination with your snippet here: http://gravitywiz.com/how-do-i-export-multi-input-fields-in-a-single-column-with-gravity-forms/
So that we can get one entry for each value in a column?

Hi spivurno. I could not find a place to ask a question in the new link. Hope you are still here. I am having problems making this snippet work. I think I may have got wrong the field_map part. I have a list (id 25) with a single column in my form id 7. I need each of the rows of this list to populate a text field (id 24) . I copied the snippet and changed those values. But when I submit the form, just the original entry is added and the wheel next to the send button never finishes to spin. How can I debug this?

new GW_Multiple_Entries_List_Field( array(
'form_id' => 7,
'field_id' => 25,
'field_map' => array(
1 => 24, // column => fieldId
),
'preserve_list_data' => true,
'append_list_data' => true,
'send_notifications' => false,
) );

@rafaeltcc I've written too many snippets to support them all, my friend. 😂

I have a team now though that can help. Submit a support request here. You will need an Advanced or Pro license to get access to snippet support.
