Option to allow or forbid geo-location changes in a Smartsheet mobile-app intake form.

Hi

In Smartsheet mobile app forms, we have an option to insert our current geo-location (please see attached image), which is a brilliant feature.

However, the issue here is that it also allows the form user to manually change their geo-location (lat.-long.) to whatever they wish to!

Ideally, the form owner should have the option to allow or restrict this manual change.

For instance, a "Customer Meeting Details" form should allow the user to select the desired geo-location; but a form titled, say, "Send my current location" will be highly reliable and useful --only if it does not allow the user to manually change their current location.

Further, the form owners should also be able to make the location submission as a "required" field. This could help project managers execute certain processes that involve rigorous compliance and controls. For instance, inspections of physical products, and certain risk audits usually require that the inspection officers/auditors be physically present at the site in question.

    Hi

    Just following up on this. Not sure if this has had any traction but it would be nice if this can be considered and implemented.

    We are facing issues where we need to track locations users are using forms from and we need to be certain that they are submitting forms from the right place and they don't have the ability to change that at all.
