Can we make fields mandatory or not based of a check box???

Raviteja Golla

Hi All,

I have a scenario where we have patient address which will be filled out, but we also have another section for relative address who is with patient in the hospital. We have an option of "Is Address same as patient" basically YES or NO check box question. If he marks yes, can we disable the fields or copy the same text as patients or something which will avoid double work.

Hi Raviteja,

Yes, you can.

Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of 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)

I hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Best,

Patient Address field which will be mandatory

For the relative of the patient, we have a dropdown of YES or NO

Based on YES or NO below fields has to have some action

Ok.

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment in a Smartsheet Form, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

As a possible workaround, we could either use a third-party form solution like Google Forms or add clear instructions in the Smartsheet form and then use formulas and helper columns in the sheet to show the same information in when it's the same.

Make sense? Would that work?
