Enhancement Request - "Edit Row" form to utilize field comments from Web Form

One of the things I like about SmartSheet forms is the ability to essentially create a work instruction from the Web Form itself. You can comment the definition of fields, enumerated lists, etc. making the form fairly self defining without the need of outside Work Instruction type of documentation. It would be nice if those field definition could carry across to the Row Edit form so users could have the same set of comments available when editing a Row from the form.

Ofcourse there are some complications - You can have 0..n forms, so which form would the user select to be the "Master Row Definition" form, what about fields that are included in the Web Form, etc. But I think these are easy to overcome and help to drive lean process defintion using SmartSheets.

Hi,<\/p>

I hope you're well and safe!<\/p>

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now (if you mean that the Query should be included in the URL to Dashboard, it's only possible in the URL to the form), but it's an excellent idea!<\/p>

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea <\/strong>(If it hasn't been added already)<\/em><\/strong> when you have a moment.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

How would you like to use it? What's the use case?<\/p>

I hope that helps!<\/p>

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!<\/p>

Best,<\/p>
