How to automatically approve an entry when submitting the form

By default, when submitting the form, the initial approval status is set to "unapproved", which means this entry hasn't been approved or disapproved yet. The unapproved status is represented by this yellow circle in the image below:

Form submission options include approve, reject, and hold for entry review

In case you want to change this behavior to have an entry automatically approved after submitting the form, then you must add GravityView's "Approve/Reject" special field to your form.

Select "Approve/Reject" under GravityView to add to form

After adding the field to your form, you must click on the green checkmark under the Choices section so the field value is automatically checked by default. This field is only visible to administrators.
