Edit Entry in Lightbox
I would like to see similar Lightbox functionality in Gravity View as we had in Gravity Forms Directory -- not just the ability to view an image in the lightbox, but the ability to quickly review an entire ENTRY in a lightbox.
... So that when you are viewing a table of submitted entries, you can get a quick glimpse at the details of each one within a lightbox, rather than clicking through entries one by one.
Additionally, it would be great to be able to add "View Previous / Next Entry" links to the Single Entry View.
Hi 👋 Zack here from GravityKit, makers of GravityView. GravityView is the best way to display, edit, and export Gravity Forms entries on your website.
This is a status update about a feature that you have requested: The ability to edit entries in a lightbox in GravityView. This has been—for years!—the top requested feature, and I'm very pleased to share that it's completed.
Viewing and Editing entries in a lightbox was added to GravityView 2.29. You can read about the feature here.
Please respond with any questions. Check it out and let us know what you think!

I think this is a great idea, exactly what I'm wanting to achieve. I see it was added to the planned list in 2017 and started in 2019, but it's not available in 2024... I wonder what happened to it?

I know this is a fairly old request but I achieve this by using the WP Colorbox plugin (https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/wp-colorbox/). You can add a shortcode to open a URL in a lightbox. Unfortunately, the gv_entry_link shortcode won't work within the WP Colorbox shortcode so instead I use a standard <a> tag with a link to the multiple view, a search term using a merge tag and have inline edit enabled by default.

Would be great to add this to the OPTIONS: EDIT ENTRY SCREEN.
ie: where we can select "Open link in new tab or window" add new option to "Open in lightbox"
;)

Would be nice to have - especially in conjunction with the calendar view that is in development.
