Suggestion — Add a formula to retrieve information about the comments in a row
It would occasionally be useful to be able to access information about comments within a formula. For instance:
IF(CountRowComments() gt 0, "Has comments!", "No comments")
Or even,
IF(GetComment(1).Contains('error'), TBD, TBD)
(Don't take the syntax too literally, but hopefully you get the idea.)

I would like to see a change to the approval process where I have a third option of "Need more info", and the system would insert at @email in the comments areas to tag the requester. Is there another way of doing this in Smartsheet via a formula instead? I've been digging, but no luck so far. Many approvals require a back and forth exchange of info, and I think it would be nice if those emails were self documenting.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible at the moment, but it's an excellent idea!

As a possible workaround, you could maybe use the comment feature in the Approval, and then that would register as a "Need more info" option and go from there.
What do you think?
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic day!
