USING FORMS WITH pARENT /CHILD ASSOCIATIONS IN SPREADSHEET

Greetings,

Below is a screenshot of a spreadsheet that has parent / child associations. I would like to create a form that will allow team members to input the various meetings & Times, they have during the week.


1-can smartsheet automatically put the response in child rows when a parent row( week Day) has been selected?

2- Would I be able to create a dashboard that could show meetings that has same participants?

    Hi @Bobby1

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Question 1

    Unfortunately, it's not possible now without using the Smartsheet API or a 3rd-party service, but it's an excellent idea!

    Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

    This might help.

    • I developed a solution using two forms (or the same form by using conditional logic) that can be used to submit the main information and then the other information on a new row for each submission after the first.

    Question 2

    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@workbold.com)

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,
