Easily move multiple Gravity Forms fields

When I work on larger Gravity Forms builds, reorganizing a form can take longer than it should. The editor lets me move one field at a time, but not a group. I tasked ChatGPT Codex to create a small feature plugin that makes it possible to select multiple fields and move them together in the Form Editor.

What it does

  • I can Ctrl or Cmd click to select multiple fields.
  • I can drag the standard Move handle on a selected field to move the whole selection as one block.
  • That’s it: no bloat, no nonsense.

Why I kept it lightweight

I wanted this to feel native and stay low risk. I do not replace templates or restructure the editor markup. The code only adds classes and a few attributes, then hooks into the existing drag behavior so the final order stays consistent after drop.

How to use it

  1. Download and install the plugin.
  2. Open Gravity Forms and edit a form.
  3. Ctrl or ⌘ click the fields I want to move.
  4. Drag the Move handle on one of the selected fields.
  5. Drop the group where I want it.

If you spend time refactoring or maintaining long forms, this saves a bit of effort without changing how the editor normally works.
