Forms and functions

Hello,

To expand on what Paul is referring to, Smartsheet does support an auto-fill feature for formulas and formatting when certain conditions are met. The conditions for auto-filling formulas can be found in this Help Center article: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/1641473-auto-filling-formulas-and-formatting

This Community Post also addresses auto-fill as it relates to Web Form entries on a sheet: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/how-do-i-autofill-formula-new-rows-will-be-added-web-form

To summarize the links above specific to what you're looking to accomplish, if you'd like your form entries to auto-fill with a formula, ensure that the desired formula is included in at least two rows above or below the new row. For instance, if new rows are inserted by a form at the bottom of your sheet, you'll want your formula to be present in at least the last two rows from the bottom.

To test this in a new sheet, try entering your formula in the first row, then drag fill the formula down a few rows and enter some test data. Then, create a new form, hide the field in your form that pertains to the column that contains your formula, then submit a new entry to see that the formula is included in the new row.
