How to connect two forms using the Nested Forms field with the Multiple Forms

If you have a form using the Nested Forms field ( a Perk from GravityWiz) and want to create a View combining information from that form and a child form, that's possible with our Multiple Forms extension.

As an example, here's our parent form:

Nested Forms interface showing sections for team name and player names with add player button

Players is a Nested Forms field that submits entries to the Nested Forms Child form:

Nested Forms Child interface showing edit menu and Player Name field inputWhenever the user submits the Nested Forms Parent, one entry is created in the parent form and multiple entries are created on the child form.

Nested Forms entry list with options to filter by form field. Entry ID 10450 shown with team and players

The Parent Entry ID meta column is used to connect the child entries with the parent entry: Entries list showing Parent Entry ID 10450 linked to Nested Forms Child in a form management interface

These two entry meta fields (Entry ID from the parent form and Parent Entry ID from the child form) are the ones we are going to use to connect the forms with the Multiple Forms extension in a View:

Edit View screen, showing data source selection and join conditions for Nested Forms integration

Now, we can add fields from both forms in our View:

Entries Fields section showing Team Name and Player Name, with buttons to add Nested Forms fields

And this is the result:

Team and player names listed, showing nested forms functionality
