Request:
Allow us to have the option to not include a open update form button on update requests.
Reason:
I send scheduled update requests to inform users of progress that is not dependent upon changes in the row, as well as ones that remind people to do tasks. Right now I lock all of the included rows in the update request, but I would rather not have to do that as I still have users opening and submitting them.
Example:
An example of this is a cleaning tracking sheet I have created. Everybody has to perform small cleaning tasks every friday, and I use Smartsheet to track who has performed their actions. I use an update request sent every friday morning with a webform url in the update request. The user clicks on the webform url from their email, submits it, and my formulas parse the submissions and sort out who has performed what task in the last 10 weeks. I have to lock all of the past rows so people can't edit them from the update request, but I would like them to be able to see the information when they submit so I don't want to just not include them. Otherwise I could just use a reoccuring email from outlook.
Yes they have access to a dashboard with this information, but I think it would be more optimal to have to see it every time they need to submit.
I have other examples as well if anyone wants
