How to Auto Approve GPNF Nested Entries When The Parent Entry Is Approved

“Is there a way to get nested form entries approved automatically when the parent entry is approved?”

When using Gravity Perks Nested Forms, if you have configured entry approval before a notification is sent – then, by default, sadly you’ll have to duplicate your efforts by approving both child and parent entry to send notifications for both parent and nested (child) forms.

…Well, that was before, Saif from Gravity Wiz dropped this snippet on the GF ecosystem!

add_action( ‘gravityview/approve_entries/approved’, function( $entry_id ) {
$parent_entry = GFAPI::get_entry( $entry_id );
$parent_form = GFAPI::get_form( $parent_entry[‘form_id’] );
$nested_entries = array();

foreach ( $parent_form[‘fields’] as $field ) {
if ( $field instanceof GP_Field_Nested_Form ) {
$_entries = explode( ‘,’, $parent_entry[ $field->id ] );
$nested_entries = array_merge( $nested_entries, $_entries );
}
}

foreach ( $nested_entries as $nested_entry_id ) {
$nested_entry = GFAPI::get_entry( $nested_entry_id );
$nested_entry[‘is_approved’] = ‘1’;
GFAPI::update_entry( $nested_entry );
}
}, 10, 1 );
