Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Consent<\/strong> field allows you to offer a “yes\/no” consent checkbox and a detailed description of what is being consented to. It is available under the Advanced Fields section within the form editor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When an entry is submitted, the consent field will record the status of the consent checkbox, and if it was checked (consent was provided), then the consent title and description (as presented at the time of submission) will also be recorded. See the Entry Management<\/a> section below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This field type was introduced in Gravity Forms 2.4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common Settings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This field uses only common field settings for the Appearance and Advanced settings. For a description of each of the common field settings, refer to this article<\/a>. Below you will find a description of speciality settings that are particular to this field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note:<\/strong> Do not use HTML or other special characters (e.g. ampersands, commas, pipes, hyphens, brackets etc.) in the Checkbox Label setting. The submitted value, the checkbox label, is sanitized on submission, which removes HTML and special characters that WordPress considers unsafe. This can result in the submitted value not matching the expected value, so the field can fail validation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
