Can I have 2 users fill out the same form?

Maya E

Hello,

Is it possible to have user #1 fill out the required fields of a form and submit it, and then have user #2 view the same form with the answers submitted by user #1, and fill in any optional fields?

I am looking to streamline a process so that it creates one entry in my sheet, rather than have each user fill out the form and have two entries in my sheet.

Any insight is appreciated. Happy to answer any questions if this is confusing.

Thank you

Hi @Maya E

I hope you're well and safe!

Have you explored using an Update Request instead? (Start with the Form and continue with the Update Request)

Make sense?

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

I have not heard of that. How do I set up the Update Request?
