Form URLs should automatically update on newly saved dashboards when copying a workspace template

Nader

As a user, I would like form URLs to automatically update on newly saved dashboards when copying a workspace,

So that I do not have to manually update the Form URLs and prevent the risk of forms accidentally pointing to the original sheet or workspace.

Please refer to case # 05972330, as this had been previously assumed to be a defect. Case: 05972330 (smartsheet.com)

Problem: Form links have to be entered as web links when putting them in the shortcuts widget or when linking to them through widget behavior option. These do not dynamically update when saving a folder/workspace as new. i.e. form links on a new dashboard will still link back to the old forms. This creates additional admin overhead and the potential of mistakes / the wrong forms being used.

Dashboards, sheets, reports etc can be selected as smartsheet items and these do update dynamically, we need forms to have the same behavior.

Agreed - I'm running into issues with this now as well.

Consider update the form link embedded in dashboard when copy the workspace. In the dashboard of copied workspace, when submitted the form then data is added into source of old workspace.

I am trying to create a "Template" workspace by saving my workspace as "New". This mostly works, but one of the main drawbacks is that when I have a link to a form attached, this link does not automatically update to the new workspace. Any data entered on the "New" forms will be stored in the original sheet.

It would be great if, when you "save as new", the form links update to the new workspace.

Thanks,

Nathan
