Fillable Drop Down or similar?

meghei · 11/14/24

Hi There!

I am looking to create a smartsheet where staff can input multiple names without having to do multiple forms back to back.

For example the question would be: who took the class? and then the staff would input names that would populate onto different lines int he database.

Can I do that with drop down? Or contact? Without having to previously fill in the value first? Hoping staff can have some sort of way to manually input the new names.

Thank you so much, hope that makes sense.

Hi Meg,

I do not think it's possible to use the Form for filling multiple rows at once.

What about having some data in the sheet already and use the workflow "change cell value" so you can set it up this way that if the name is put through the form it fills other rows with this data as well - but those need to be existing already.

Hope it helps.

Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

I developed a solution using two forms (or the same form by using conditional logic) that can be used to submit the primary information and then the other information on a new row for each submission after the first.

I've also developed solutions for clients that create multiple rows from one form, but it's pretty advanced.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

Hey,

This may work, how would I access information on that solution?

Thank you so much,
