Manual update request to retain prior selections
CBlass
✭✭✭
When working to manage projects through Smartsheet, I use the automation for following up on items in various statuses, but there are times when manual requests are needed. It would be helpful if the manual update request dialogue retained the previous choices of columns and message from prior update requests on that sheet to edit from if necessary, and/or to allow this process to pull the selections from automated update request workflows for the sheet. For certain circumstances I could use the run now function on the workflow just for that row, but that's several clicks into the menu and does not work when the row does not meet the conditions of the workflow.
