I have been working on a Gravity Forms extension for a client. The concept is to add a new field type with 4 inputs. I have tried about 10 different variations on how people build custom gravity form fields, but I keep running into the same issue.
When creating a custom field, if I use only 1 input under the naming convention of input_{field_id} the form will save and validate properly. But the moment I try to add more than one field using the names input_{field_id}.{i} just like the built in fields the form will no longer save my data.

I have spend about 20 hours trying different fixes and searching the internet to get this working, with no luck to show for it. At one point I was able to get the form fields to save using a different method (see below), but I could not make the field required or use conditional login on it, which is a must.

If anyone can help me with either issue, it would be greatly appreciated.
Class update:
Cleaned Up get_field_input
Added get_value_submission

When using the Settings API you can define a custom field type by creating a function called settings_{your_custom_field_type}. The text after the first underscore will be what you decided to name your type. The function will run for every field of that type.

After working with the Gravity Forms support team for a few days, we were able to come up with this solution. Everything seems to be working now. Hope this helps someone in the future.
