GP Copy Cat UI WP Registry grade A. No security issues foundWP RegistryNo security issues foundOpen the reportA

Configure Gravity Forms field copying visually with dropdowns in the form editor and a global settings page instead of typing copy-{id}-to-{id} CSS classes.

Visual Rule Configuration

• Build copy rules from dropdowns: pick a trigger, a source, and a target — no CSS classes to memorize.
• Target whole fields, individual inputs (e.g. 1.3 for a Name field's Last), or specific multi-column List columns (9.2).
• Add an optional condition (Copy Cat's native "copy only while this field has a value" check) and a copy-label toggle for choice fields.
• Injects rules through Copy Cat's own gpcc_copy_cat_fields filter, so Copy Cat itself is never modified and existing copy-* classes keep working.

Two Editing Views

• Per-field panel — a "Copy Cat" section in each field's Advanced settings for the common "copy this field to…" case, with a Copy from picker on multi-input fields (Name, Address, Checkbox, List).
• Global view — a "Copy Cat" page in the form settings listing every rule with all roles explicit; the only place to build advanced rules where the trigger differs from the source (e.g. a "same as billing" checkbox that copies Billing into Shipping).
• Legacy import — one click converts existing copy-* CSS classes on a field (or the whole form) into UI rules and strips the classes.

Key Features

• Round-trip compatible: every UI rule stays expressible as a legacy copy-* / -if- CSS class, so nothing is locked in.
• Multilingual: works with content in any language.
• Translation-Ready: all strings are internationalized via the WordPress i18n API.
• Secure: capability checks, nonce-verified saves, and escaped output throughout the editor and settings UI.
• GitHub Updates: automatic updates delivered straight from GitHub releases.

Requirements

• Gravity Forms 2.5 or higher
• Gravity Perks with GP Copy Cat 1.4.3 or higher (first version with the gpcc_copy_cat_fields filter)
• WordPress 6.5 or higher
• PHP 7.4 or higher

Installation

1. Upload the gwcopycat-ui folder to /wp-content/plugins/
2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress
3. Open any form and add copy rules from a field's Advanced → Copy Cat panel, or manage them all from Forms → Settings → Copy Cat

FAQ

Do I need GP Copy Cat installed?

Yes. This is a companion UI for GP Copy Cat (a Gravity Perks add-on) and does nothing on its own. It requires GP Copy Cat 1.4.3 or newer.

What does "condition" mean?

It is Copy Cat's native has-a-value check — -if-{fieldId} means the copy happens only while that field is non-empty. Input-level ids add granularity (-if-7.1 means "checkbox choice 7.1 is checked"). There are no operators (is / is not / greater than…); the UI exposes exactly this so every rule stays expressible as a CSS class.

Will my existing copy-* CSS classes keep working?

Yes. Copy Cat still handles any un-imported legacy classes, and UI rules coexist with them. Use the per-field or form-wide importer to convert classes into visual rules whenever you like.

Can I copy between different forms?

No. Cross-form copying (the legacy formId.fieldId.inputId syntax) is intentionally not exposed in the UI. Existing cross-form CSS-class setups keep working through Copy Cat's own path.

How does the plugin receive updates?

Updates are delivered from GitHub releases. When a newer release is published, WordPress shows the update under Dashboard → Updates, and View details renders this README in the plugin info popup.

• Field pickers now expose accessible names to screen readers
