Is there a way to deny being able to check a box complete until an attachment is added.
Thanks in advance
Hi Dustin,
I have a few ideas!
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Have a fantastic week!

Certain tasks get assigned to different people in my company. Some of these tasks but not all require attachments (i.e. construction drawings, permit applications, estimates) I don't want the assigned person to have the ability to check a task as completed until they have attached a document.

Would that work/be an option?
How would you like to use it?

All of the formulas I have tried have only gotten me so far as the "AND". Adding in the dates screws it up. The goal is to determine if…
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
