Redirect to URL based on form field entry

Paul DG

When someone fills out a field on a form, it would be great if logic could include an option to redirect the user to a different url. It becomes a "ghost form" in a sense because it's not submitted, but this would definitely broaden the use and scalability of Smartsheet forms. Given the 20k row limit on sheets, this could help for redirecting to a different sheet form or an external form depending on the answer. For example, if they choose the department (operations, product, etc.), then they would be redirected to that dept's form. I understand that all of your forms are connected to sheets, but maybe this could be an option for a unique "pre-form" that still could show statistics for the choices selected to determine how man

@Paul DG You can achieve this do this with a form header, and use logic to hide or show the header based on a previous response.

@Samuel Mueller Thanks for the suggestion - I was hoping for an auto-redirect to a url, but this could be a workaround. The only issue is that with the logic it won't hide all the other subsequent fields except the header, correct? With that workaround, the ideal would be to solely show the header based on a selection, and nothing else.

@Paul DG I believe you could hide everything except the field that determines the logic, and the header if you wanted. You just have to get the logic right based on your criteria. But you are correct there is no auto-redirect, they would still have to click the link.

Ok, I'll play with it to get the view right - thanks again, @Samuel Mueller !
