Can you use sheet/row comments in formulas or otherwise?

Is it possible to write formulas using an IF statement based on if there is a comment @row or not?


A quick follow-up. I understand how conditional logic in a webform may help for this, but if you are sending an update request automation or an approval request automation, is there any way to REQUIRE that a comment be made in a tex/number field before a status column (ryg balls) is available to be updated?


I want them to put in a comment if they are going to manually change a row from red to green. Need the why before I let them change the status....IDEALLY.


THANKS,

Jeff

    Hi @Jeff_Berman

    I hope you're well and safe!

    Yes, you could have a Workflow that checks if a comment has been added and could send another Update Request with the RYG included or something similar.

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

    Best,
