i've asked, who was ready to pay for it. nobody stepped up.

and i was not ready to pay for it.

so i had to spend a couple of hours to fix some bugs and
incompatibilities with the newer PHP / Wordpress.

you can't give (different) access to a specific (group of) user(s) to
each form.
not in the version we have nor in the newest version (according to what
i have read in the forums).

one other problem that i have not mentioned, is that Gravity Forms does
not (really) allow to integrate the content of the forms entries into
the rest of the WP site.
what i did for getting the list of participants is an undocumented low
level hack.
it does work ok once it's setup, but it's not very efficient.


Gravity Form user interface for putting together the forms is really
well done, this is the part you have seen. but all the rest is
rather deceiving.

And it's some sort of closed source, so no chance to improve it in the
community.

there must be a better way to manage forms and lists!
