Duplicating a Gravity Forms entry from the frontend of your site

Administrators can duplicate an entry from the front end of your website with GravityView by adding the Duplicate Entry field to your View.

To duplicate an entry, first add the "Duplicate Entry" field to your View:

1. Create or edit a View, click a tab to the View layout tabs

You can add the field to the Multiple Entries Layout tab, the Single Entry Layout tab, or both depending on where you want the link to appear.

2. Click the "Add Field" or "Add Table Column" button

Clicking the Add Field button for a Single Entry View
