GravityView v3.6.0 WordPress Plugin

What’s New (Changelog) in GravityView v3.6.0

= v3.6.0 on September 24, 2026 =
This update makes removing files in Edit Entry safer, includes security fixes, and resolves issues with Edit Entry, Populate Anything fields, search, and View layouts. We recommend updating.

**Note: GravityView now requires Gravity Forms 2.9.4 or newer.**

#### Improved
* File removal in Edit Entry, which now takes effect only after clicking Update (leaving the page without updating keeps the files).

#### Security
* Improved security when deleting uploaded files in Edit Entry.
* Fixed a data disclosure issue in Edit Entry, limited to users already allowed to edit the entry.

#### Fixed
* The "Hide View data until search is performed" setting did not hide entries from the REST API, CSV and TSV exports, or `[gravityview detail]` counts, and blank searches or searches on fields the View did not offer still showed entries.
* Issues with choice fields populated by Populate Anything:
- Saving an entry in Edit Entry changed or erased choices beyond the first 501, the default maximum Populate Anything loads;
- Inline editing with GravityEdit did not offer saved choices that were not among the loaded choices, so saving erased them;
- Merge tags used outside Custom Content fields showed the stored value instead of the label;
- Custom entry slugs built from these fields switched between the stored value and the label (they now always use the label).
* Issues in Edit Entry:
- Conditional logic restored the wrong value to a dynamically populated field whose parameter name matched an entry property, such as `ip`;
- Calculation fields stopped updating after the first save when the entry had no stored value for them;
- With Gravity Forms 3.1.2, files uploaded to a multi-file field were rejected when the form was resubmitted after a validation error;
- Multi-file upload errors showed "Array" instead of the message for each file.
* Gravity Flow assignees could not delete uploaded files on User Input steps while GravityView was active.
* DataTables column filters had no effect after updating to GravityView 3.5.0.
* View settings added by add-ons, such as GravityMath's Calculation Row Background, went missing from the View editor in GravityView 3.0.
* Search Bar widget issues:
- A large gap appeared between each search field and the Search button in the Horizontal layout on Views not using the Vantage theme;
- Labels for radio, checkbox, date, date range, and number range fields ignored the theme's label styling and appeared at body text size;
- Searches that did not specify a search mode ignored the Search Mode saved on the View and matched any field.
* Layout issues:
- List and Layout Builder Views set to more than one column showed every entry in the first column;
- Entries in Vantage Layout Builder Views lost the space between them;
- Vantage Table Views grew wider than the page when a field held long text instead of wrapping it within the column widths.

#### Developer Updates
* Deprecated `GravityView_Edit_Entry::delete_file()` and removed GravityView's handler for the `rg_delete_file` AJAX action, since Edit Entry now deletes removed files when the entry is updated.

#### Updated
* [Foundation](https://www.gravitykit.com/foundation/) to version 1.35.0.
