Allow another option in "single entry" view that displays the entry in the original Gravity form (i.e. same format)
Ideally one option for "single entry" view, or at least single entry edit would be to display the form in the same layout as the original Gravity Form so a user has a familiar interface. At present, the layout of the form is quite different when presented through the edit option in Directory.

Hi,
We just released Version 1.9, which now uses a native Gravity Forms form to edit entries. This is a much better experience, and is thanks to your feedback!
Edit Entry now supports Conditional Logic, CSS Ready Classes, dynamic population of field data, and more.
Check out our blog post detailing the new functionality: https://gravityview.co/version-1-9-a-new-edit-entry-form/

@Andres - This is possible using the Custom Content field and adding `{all_fields}` to it. It was added in 1.2.1.

Any updates on this? We just purchased Gravity View today since it alluded to having this feature out-of-the-box. To our dismay, it does not. Thankfully there's a 30-day return policy, but I'd rather you guys implement this.

+1 For this. Also, when 'edit entry' is used the form does not respect the original forms Conditional Logic which renders the edit functionality useless. And even worse, when editing a form the Gravity Forms hooks/filters are not called.

Hi Zack,
+ 1 for this suggestion too. It would be great if, instead of users working with Custom Content fields, Gravity View made use of the "CSS ready class" selected for each field while building the original Gravity Form, so that fields in the single entry view looked like the original Gravity Form. Taking this a step further, if developers have worked on their own CSS for GF fields, this could also be picked up when displaying the single entry view. -
This will be supported using the Custom Content field in Version 1.2.1 (not yet released) using the {all_fields} shortcode. Here's an article showing how to set that up: https://gravityview.co/support/documentation/201874189/

+1 for this. Essentially for me this comes down to a need for the classes that I assign to my GF fields to carry over into the Directory plugin. Currently, lack of this feature is problematic because I assign a class to a field, for example, that I use to make it read only using javascript. Works fine when they submit the form. However, in the directory, if a user goes to edit their form entry, my read only field is no longer read only and they are able to edit it. Makes it completely useless in that particular case. It would be great if you could implement this!
