The gform_export_field_value filter allows you to modify the field value before it is included in the Gravity Forms CSV export. This filter can be used together with the gform_export_fields filter to include custom columns in the export.
Usage
add_filter('gform_export_field_value', 'your_function_name', 10, 4);
Parameters
$value
(string): The value of the field being exported.$form_id
(integer): The ID of the current form.$field_id
(integer): The ID of the current field.$entry
(Entry Object): The current entry.

Examples
Set export value for custom fields
This example sets the values for two custom fields that were added to the export. The custom fields are named “custom_field1” and “custom_field2”.
add_filter('gform_export_field_value', 'set_export_values', 10, 4); function set_export_values($value, $form_id, $field_id, $entry) { switch($field_id) { case 'custom_field1': $value = 'valueforcustomfield1'; break; case 'custom_field2': $value = 'valueforcustomfield2'; break; } return $value; }
Use choice text instead of values
add_filter('gform_export_field_value', 'export_choice_text', 10, 4); function export_choice_text($value, $form_id, $field_id, $entry) { $field = GFAPI::get_field($form_id, $field_id); return is_object($field) && is_array($field->choices) ? $field->get_value_export($entry, $field_id, true) : $value; }
Decode special characters
This example shows how you can decode special characters such as the ampersand which may have been encoded during field value sanitization.
add_filter('gform_export_field_value', 'decode_export_values'); function decode_export_values($value) { return htmlspecialchars_decode($value); }
Format date field value
add_filter('gform_export_field_value', 'format_date', 10, 4); function format_date($value, $form_id, $field_id, $entry) { $field = GFAPI::get_field($form_id, $field_id); return is_object($field) && $field->type == 'date' ? GFCommon::date_display($value, $field->dateFormat) : $value; }
Use display name instead of user id
add_filter('gform_export_field_value', 'export_user_display_name', 10, 4); function export_user_display_name($value, $form_id, $field_id, $entry) { if ($field_id == 'created_by') { $user = get_user_by('id', $value); return is_object($user) ? $user->display_name : $value; } return $value; }
