Introduction
The Form object is the main object in Gravity Forms. It contains all properties of a particular form (i.e. form title, fields, notification, scheduling, etc…). This object is available to most of the Gravity Forms hooks.
It is formatted as an associative array (i.e. $form[『title』] retrieves the form title).
