gravity forms Form Entry - display label, not value for checkboxes, select - forms

Question

I've got checkboxes and selects where label is different to its value.
In the DB the value is saved ok, however, when viewing Form Entries (and pre-submit form data) for all the checkboxes and selects the values are displayed not labels. So I end up with not so informative IDs rather than names.
Is there a way to display labels instead of values in the Form Entries screen?

I came across your question while looking to do the same thing. I have a field called Account Type that stores the account type ID as the value. In the entries list I want to show the account type name, not the ID.
Here's the solution:
In your theme's functions.php file add the following filter:
add_filter( 'gform_entries_column_filter', 'modify_entry_view', 10, 5 );
You'll find the documentation for it here: https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_entries_column_filter/
Then add the function code:
function modify_entry_view( $value, $form_id, $field_id, $entry, $query_string ){
//- Check the field ID to make sure you only change that one
if( $field_id == 14 ){
return 'modified value';
};
return $value;
}
In my case I'm using a custom field that I created called account_type that prepopulates a select menu with choices corresponding to each of the account types in our system. I used the following call to check the field type instead of checking based on field id since the id will change from form to form:
if( RGFormsModel::get_field( $form_id, $field_id )->type == 'account_type' ){
You could do the same thing but use the label property instead of type, like:
if( RGFormsModel::get_field( $form_id, $field_id )->label == 'Field Label' ){
In my case the value saved is a term id from a custom taxonomy I set up called account_type, so I simply use:
return get_term_by( 'id', $value, 'account_type' )->name;
to replace the account id with the account name.
FYI: The process is the same for the entry detail, use the filter documented here: https://docs.gravityforms.com/gform_entry_field_value/
