Update Request Customization - descriptions and headers like a Form

Stacie Armstrong

The update requests are not always easy to explain with the limitations in the column header. It would be very beneficial and extremely useful to allow the user to create update requests like you would a form.

As with a form, it would be nice to have some type of help text the user can see when filling out the update request form. This will drastically improve the user experience and help us add value to users we ask to update data on our sheets.

When setting up an automation to send out an update request that includes an Attachment field, having the ability to modify the text and help text would improve this feature greatly. In my use case, I can then create an initial intake form, and have the update request mimic the form and ensure it includes all the necessary details for the attachment field and how to properly use it.

If you put the details (text and help text) in a helper column on every row, which you could do by an automation or data mesh, then you could include the details in the update buy using the {{field name}}

I would like to see this implemented; I need to send update requests to my team leads, and I want to make it as simple and straightforward as possible. Right now the column headers aren't able to be descriptive enough. Additionally, it would be helpful to add conditional logic --e.g. if they check the box for Roadblock, I want to open up a free text field they can use to describe that roadblock.

Hello.

Has anyone received an update on this issue/request to have help text for any fields or extending the character limit in the columns in order to use these in Update Requests?

Thanks in advance.

Right now all forms are In Take forms. Simply allow to select a form for an Update Request. Then, the labels, descriptions, help, logic, validation, hidden fields, etc., will be applied when updating the row.

This would be a huge improvement to update requests, I would also like to see this soon. I especially like Luis Martinez Ruiz's suggestion to just leverage forms so there is no need to learn different methods for update requests and initial data requests.

This is a great idea and would greatly impact quality of life when working with the Update Requests.
