Gravity Flow Parent Child Forms

Gravity Flow Parent Child Forms is an official extension of the Gravity Flow ecosystem that allows WordPress administrators to define hierarchical relationships between forms, so that related entries remain organized and connected under a single main record. It is designed for sites that manage complex processes with multiple levels of information, where a main form acts as a central reference and several secondary forms complete the necessary data for each case.

The extension is especially useful for businesses, online stores, corporate projects, and academic environments that handle requests with attachments, orders with associated items, internal evaluations, incident tracking, or multi-stage approval processes. For example, a loan application can receive multiple reviews from different analysts, and all those evaluations will be linked to the original application, visible from the same work panel.

Among its main functions, it stands out the ability to submit child forms directly from the detail page of a parent entry, both in the admin interface and on the front-end using shortcodes. All linked child forms are displayed in a side panel, regardless of the flow step or their current status. Additionally, it allows navigation between related entries: each child entry shows a reference to its parent entry and to the other sibling entries, facilitating the review and tracking of each case.

The extension also allows embedding child forms in standard WordPress pages, passing the workflow_parent_entry_id parameter in the URL so that any submission made on that page is automatically associated with the corresponding parent entry. This offers great flexibility when designing processes that require collecting complementary information at different times in the workflow.

By integrating natively with Gravity Flow, each child submission can be part of the same automated flow, with approval steps, notifications, and field updates. This allows separating data by departments or stages —request, validation, tracking— while keeping everything connected in the same context, which reduces errors, avoids duplicates, and saves time in administrative review and control tasks.

In short, Gravity Flow Parent Child Forms is the ideal solution for those who need to structure complex processes in WordPress, centralizing related information under a single record and improving the visibility and traceability of each case within the workflow.
