Biggest opportunity: “csv import”, “gravity forms entries” and “gravity forms import” aren't earning a slot. You list them, but you're not in the first 24 results for those searches. WordPress.org counts only your first five tags, so free the slot for a search you can win.

of downloads still active
At least 100 of 16.7K lifetime downloads are still running, in line with its category: the median Content & Feeds plugin keeps 0.8%, across 867 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Content & Feeds plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.

How it's tracked →Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.
Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.
wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

Didn’t work, because it couldn’t read the columns in the database correctly.

I have been looking for something to do this job for some time and thankfully came across this. I primarily wanted it to move Gravity Forms Entries between forms for users that are registered using one form (where i have a number of forms for different levels with the same fields). Although it was not perhaps meant for that in its original concept it worked great. I exported entries from one form where i had lots of entries, deleted all users from the csv file i did not need (in this case i needed to move just one user) and then imported that user/entry into the form i wanted them to be in. Excellent! Thanks so much for providing this to us 🙂

worked perfectly and as expected. thank you.

Overall works great but I never could get the names field (first,last) to import correctly. It would put the last name in the next available field. Other than that I was able to use it to import what I needed.

It works and saves time from just doing data entry. Would be cool if it let you map fields though. Since gravity forms combines names and addresses, you need to make sure you combine them in the import. Also since there was no mapping, I fought with some header titles a bit as well. Overall – works though. If you have hundreds (or more) of entries it’s a must.
