    Hi Mark!

    Thanks for reading these support tickets! I know this is a free forum so no expectation on a reply, but of course any response will be received with gratitude if you are able to take the time!

    I made a quick-ish video (which you can watch at 2x’s the speed!) to explain this issue/feature request: Integration with Elementor Dynamic Tags (for Mark).

    Basically, for whatever reason, the “Gravity Forms” Field Type doesn’t show up in the list of available fields when using Elementor’s Dynamic Tags. You’ll see in the video that I am able to achieve the end goal by switching the field from an ACF “Gravity Forms” Field Type to a “Text” Field Type and setting it in Elementor before switching back. Elementor ends up remembering my selection, but it might be cool if there were a way for the plugin to integrate directly with Elementor and show up on the list of available fields so as to save that extra step.

    I bet it’s super complicated and wouldn’t even be worth looking into, but I wanted to submit this quick ticket just in case. Please know I take no personal offense if you have to write back and say, “Yes, so sorry, Caleb – that is too much work for a free plugin!” ha – truly, no worries at all.

    I did do a search in both Github and here on the Support Forum to see if anyone had listed this yet, so please forgive me if it is a duplicate ask! From what I could read about previous tickets about Elementor integration, it hasn’t been asked before.

    Again, no rush to reply, and thank you again so much for even taking the time to read these notes and create a plugin like this in the first place! It’s been a blessing to use.

    Thanks, again, Mark, and we’ll be in touch if/whenever you are able to write back! No worries if not! 🙂

    @calebweeks I don’t work with Elementor myself, but from your video description of the problem, it appears that the Elementor tool doesn’t support custom field types. I would suggest flagging this up with Elementor support. My/our plugin is only intended to provide the functionality in ACF, which is does correctly. If Elementor support indicates a problem in the custom field type configuration, then I’ll be happy to take a look at it.

    Thanks for your quick reply, @markhowellsmead, and that is a good idea to reach out to the Elementor team about it! I apologize I didn’t think of that sooner. I’ll see what I can find out about “custom” ACF fields showing up in the Elementor ACF dropdown there in Elementor’s Dynamic Tags.

    In the meantime, I’ll mark this ticket “Resolved” and carry on with Elementor as I imagine that if they were to implement it, it wouldn’t happen right away.

    Thanks, again, Mark, for your reply and for making the plugin in the first place! Appreciate you developing and sharing such a helpful tool with all of us using it. Thanks, again!
