* I have a Smartsheet that tracks Action Items. * I created a Form that shows Action Parties data from Smartsheet and requires them to enter responses. * The Form sent to Action Parties that appears in Emails and can be opened from the Email to enter responses does not contain the same cells as the Form in SmartSheet. Why?…

I have a Smartsheet that tracks Action Items.
I created a Form that shows Action Parties data from Smartsheet and requires them to enter responses.
The Form sent to Action Parties that appears in Emails and can be opened from the Email to enter responses does not contain the same cells as the Form in SmartSheet. Why?
See attached Word file with clips of the Form. Note I can't see my Attachments when using the Paper Clip so am not sure if it is attached?

Hi,

It didn't get attached!

Are you using forms and update requests?

Can you maybe share some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Best,

Happy to help!

They don't look the same because one is a form and the other is a preview of an update request. You can change what should be included in the update request.

More info:

In the action block of your automated workflow, select Menu > Advanced options to configure which fields are displayed in the alert or request, or Approval status and button name detail for Approval Requests.

I hope that helps!

I am trying to create a Form that requires the user to supply information related to any item existing in the Primary Column. If I pull that existing field into my form, the user entry is a free-form field and I can't figure out how to restrict it (other than validating by data types). If I add a new field with a dropdown…
Sheet -Ganhtt Chart
Is it possible to display both the planned and actual duration for a single task on a Smartsheet Gantt chart? I would like the Gantt bar to show the planned duration (e.g., in blue) based on a Planned End Date column, and then show the actual duration (e.g., in green) based on an Actual End Date column. Can the Gantt view…
Color-Coded Tags in Board View
I noticed in the Board View tags are grey by default but in the how to videos, in the Board View some of the tags are colorful.
