Good day!
We hope we can make the comment section on the approval form mandatory. This would help in managing approval and getting feedbacks from the top management.
Sign in to see the current vote count, add your own vote, or leave a comment.
I would like to see an option "when someone selects reject or decline, require a reason or comment".
From what I can tell, there is no option for this.
Hi, I hope you're well and safe!Here's a possible workaround or workarounds - Add a comment before Approve/Decline to indicate the reason.
Would that work/help? I hope that helps! Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

I have that option on there, problem is there is no way to make it "required" if the employee hits decline.
Ok.
You can add another workflow that checks if it's empty and send an update request to have them add a reason. ✅ Remember! Did my comment(s) help/answer your question or solve your problem?

That is what I was finding as the option. I was hoping it was a "you cannot vote until you fill in this field".
Yes, that would be perfect!
I put in a recommendation ticket to an idea or upgrade.
Currently, there is no requirement to complete the 'A Comment" field on an approval request. If a request is denied, we are looking for a response as to WHY for the requester.
without the requirement I was going to build a workaround to build an automation if the a comment column was left blank and the status was declined a follow up request would go out for the declined reasoning. Unfortunately plans were spoiled when i realized the a comment response is being loaded into the conversations not a new column on the sheet that can run automations.
Request to either require the response when loaded or move the comment responses into a column in the sheet.
Allow a setting to make the comment section in the Approval Form mandatory?
Could you elaborate more? Are you talking about a custom form or the automation "Request an approval"?
Smartsheet does not currently send automated error notifications to Pivot workflow owners when workflows fail, unlike the notification behavior for DataTables, Data Shuttle, and Meshes. Also, when column mappings break on a mesh, the mesh will continue to run with an error. We should expect the same functionality from a…
The Smartsheet Forms currently do not include the attachments in the notification emails as soon as the form has been submitted. Therefore, the Approver and the End Receiver are not able to see the attachments instantly and will have to go to the link to access the table and download from there. We use the Smartsheet Forms…
I'm proposing an added feature to CANCEL an update request without necessarily deleting it, this way we can maintain the history of requests even when they aren't acted upon by the recipient. Sometimes users elect to update rows in grid view rather than from their emails/notifications, or they'll respond to the 20th update…
