Walkthrough

A new Gravity Forms PHP snippet has been added to consolidate multiple list fields into a single list field after form submission. The code hooks into the post-submission action for a specific form, merges the values from designated source fields, and updates the entry with the combined list in the target field.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary

10-11: Consider adding form ID validation

The action hook is currently tied to a specific form ID (123). While the comment indicates this should be updated, it would be helpful to add a check to ensure the code only runs for the intended form.

// Update "123" to your form ID.
-add_action( 'gform_post_submission_123', function ( $entry, $form ) {
+$form_id = 123; // Update this to your form ID
+add_action( "gform_post_submission_{$form_id}", function ( $entry, $form ) use ( $form_id ) {
+	// Optional validation to ensure we're processing the correct form
+	if ( $form['id'] != $form_id ) {
+		return;
+	}

30-31: Maintain consistent variable naming convention

The variable $finalSerialized uses camelCase while other variables use snake_case. It's best to maintain a consistent naming convention throughout your code.

// Serialize the combined array and update the target field and entry.
-$finalSerialized           = serialize( $combined );
-$entry[ $target_field_id ] = $finalSerialized;
+$final_serialized           = serialize( $combined );
+$entry[ $target_field_id ] = $final_serialized;

1-9: Add configuration instructions to header comment

The header comments could be more helpful by including instructions on how to identify field IDs for configuration.

Add error handling for entry update

The code doesn't handle potential errors when updating the entry. Adding error checking will help with debugging if issues arise.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

Add error handling for unserialization

The current implementation assumes that unserialize() will always succeed, which might not be the case with corrupted data. Adding error handling would make the code more robust.

foreach ( $source_field_ids as $field_id ) {
	if ( isset( $entry[ $field_id ] ) && ! empty( $entry[ $field_id ] ) ) {
-		$field_values = unserialize( $entry[ $field_id ] );
-		$combined     = array_merge( $combined, $field_values );
+		$field_values = @unserialize( $entry[ $field_id ] );
+		if ( $field_values === false && $entry[ $field_id ] !== 'b:0;' ) {
+			// Log error but continue with other fields
+			error_log( "GF List Consolidation: Failed to unserialize data for field {$field_id}" );
+			continue;
+		}
+		
+		if ( is_array( $field_values ) ) {
+			$combined = array_merge( $combined, $field_values );

Add field validation

The snippet uses hardcoded field IDs without verifying that these fields exist or are list fields. This could lead to runtime errors if the form structure changes.

$target_field_id  = 7;

+// Validate that all required fields exist and are list fields

I dig it!

Some of the Code Rabbit suggestions around validation / error handling are probably worth adding, time permitting.
