Is it Possible to Have a Form Pull From a Summary Field on the Sheet?

I believe I've seen that this isn't possible but wanted to check if anything has changed or if someone came up with a solution.

I have a form where people sign up for a tour. In the main sheet I use the Sheet Summary to keep track of how many spots are left for the tour. I would like to pull from this Sheet Summary field into the form so that I don't have to go in and update it each time someone signs up. Right now I just use a text box that I update manually with the number of spots remaining.

    Hi,

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Unfortunately, no. But you could add the form on one side in a Dashboard and then the counter or something on the other.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic day!
