Forms: how to move some column data to a new row

Hello, I am using a form to collect HR job / position requests. The upper portion of the form collects administrative information, the bottom portion collects position and financial information. The problem is that people often want to submit more than one job. The current state requires them to open the link again and submit a new form, thus having to repeat all of the administrative and financial information. This action prompts a new row to be created in the sheet.

Instead, is there an automation or column or row activity that will, if certain conditions are met, move the additional column data to the next row? I am trying to avoid having hundreds of columns wide and making the submitter have to repeat much of the information in a new form submission.

Thanks for your help!

    Hi @Jen H.

    I hope you're well and safe!

    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.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe and have a fantastic week!

    Best,
