Not sure what happened. Originally, I had a 3 step process for my database/form. A report is filled, followed by a Lead Review, followed by a Supervisor Review.
There are 2 databases. 1 is the main database, the other is a secondary database for doing lead review. The second database is my work around for Smartsheet not having dynamic update forms. It works seamlessly.
What happens is a report is filled, the report gets copied over to database 2. In database 2, an email is sent to the person labeled as Lead Reviewer (done in the original report). This email contains a link to database 2's form, which is dynamic. After database 2's form is submitted, the data from database 2 is transferred back to database 1 via formulas. Supervisor review is then done via an update request workflow. What sparks it is when a column from database 2 is transferred over, the value goes from blank to "any", thus sending the update request.
The original report and Lead Review still work fine, except Supervisor review has been bricked for some reason. It worked fine consistently for over a year and was last tested about a week or two ago. The issues began today, seemingly for no reason (also in a meeting with my boss talking about how the project is done haha).
It is sending mass emails asking for updates to random rows that have been updated or have already sent their supervisor review request weeks-months ago. I'm not sure what caused this. This is the first time this error has occurred for me.
Sorry this was kind of vague. Was there any Smartsheet updates that likely caused this?
