I am wanting to create some order form for my company, but i cant seem to be able to create a section where they are able to put in more than one product at a time. What colunm type would i use?

    Simply use the new Drop Down (Multi-Select) Column Type to make this work. This was a new enhancement announced during Engage '19, and it works wonderfully.

    Hi Sharon,

    To add to Deanna's excellent advice.

    Another option could be to use forms. One form for the primary information, and after it's submitted another form opens up where you can add each product. (the product form reloads after each submission)

    Would that work/help?

    I hope that helps!

    Have a fantastic week!

    Thank you,

    What about a stationary order form?

    The multi option wont work as i dont have a list. (or want to create one)

    If the form refreshes is that a little cumbersome? But i will give this a go and see how the office handles it.


    Thanks for your help.

    Happy to help!

    Re. Stationary Form.

    There are several options.

    • Design a sheet/template as an order form
    • Use a third-party service like Google Forms or similar

    Re. Form

    The form refresh is almost instant so that shouldn't be an issue.

    Let me know how it goes and if you need more help!

Has anything in the sheet changed? Any formulas in the cells? <\/p>

Hi Dear Andrée Starå<\/strong><\/a><\/p>

Thank you so much for your solution!<\/p>

It can work, but more like a compromise way. Editing on a report is less convenient.<\/p>

It would be better for me to set access right to each column.<\/p>

But that can also work for now, thanks a lot.<\/p>

By the way are you a BOT?<\/p>"},{"commentID":383283,"body":"
