Hey everbody!
Is there a way to show the automatically generated number which will be created by the new form, on that form?

Hi Florian,
Unfortunately, it isn't possible because Smartsheet creates the automatic number after the form is submitted. A possible workaround that could work but it depends on your specific use case. You could have Smartsheet automatically send out the number afterward with the help of Alerts & Actions.

Several (major) limitations to this, but many of them can be resolved. Since the URL is dynamic, users can't just click on the link they got last week.

Hi there! Our Account Manager today informed us that users would need to be paid members to receive and complete Update Requests going forward. I can't imagine that Form users would need to be members, but I don't know how that differs from Update Requests, since neither requires access to the underlying sheet. Is it…
