Not able to alter data inputted

Vinton Douglas

Good day. If info is inputted in a particular cell by a smartsheet editor, can this be set so that the info inputted cannot be altered or edited after a few hours or so?

Hi @Vinton Douglas

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now for a specific cell, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• You could set up a Workflow that locks the row instead

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Hi Andree,

Thanks for responding. Sounds like a great idea! How do I set this up (workflow that locks the row)?
