Customizing an update request (just like a form)

Zsolt

I know the forms can't update a specific row. (Which, I think is a huge disadvantage of this application.) So, I have an update request that does that. Is there a way to send an automated request update in a form-like template where I can customize the appearance just like on a form (label, description, etc.)?

Thanks

Hi @Zsolt

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Add so-called helper columns (to include between the columns you'd like them to update) with the Label/Description and similar.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

This solution is very ugly. Using a 'helper" column results in a field that is displayed on the update request but isn't supposed to be used. It's not really very professional looking. I REALLY would like the option to send a form for an update request. This shouldn't be that difficult.

I have a nice Smartsheet / Zapier work around. If anyone wants to know how it works let me know. It is a little complicated to explain but it is tested. haugemarc@gmail.com

We heard at Engage that this is now possible, but not able to find some explanation on how to accomplish this? Any help would be awesome!
