Can a form be updated once it has been submitted for approval?

Lesley Conger

We are using a form to capture requests for purchase with approval automations. If the person submitting form submits with an inaccurate cost estimate, can they return to same submitted form and edit it for second approval? Also is there a way to put a timing formula i.e. like 24 hours or 48 hours on the approval to remind the approver the request is outstanding? Any suggestions appreciated.

Hi @Lesley Conger

I hope you're well and safe!

There are multiple ways to structure a solution, and it depends on your specific use case.

Here's a couple of ways for how they can update the information after submission.

• Automated Update request
• A report showing the users submissions
• Dynamic View showing the users submissions
• WorkApps showing the users submissions

Yes, you can also set a timing formula. One way would be to use the change cell action feature in a workflow.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
