Can a Workflow Cancel a Remaining Requests for Update if 1 of 3 people update?

Steve Robinette

I have a use case where we dont want to use request for approval because it writes an additional column to the sheet, we are currently using Request for Update to utilize the row form to assign a project task. When a row is created, it sends a request for update to assign a task to three people. Once one person completes this, can the other requests for updates be immediately cancelled?

You could set an automation to notify yourself when the assignment is made and then go into the sheet and manually delete the pending update requests as described here: https://help.smartsheet.com/learning-track/smartsheet-intermediate/update-requests.

If you just want to stop repeating (e.g., daily) update requests, then add a condition to the automation (run only if the assignment value is blank).

Hope this helps!
