Hi. I am trying to add a form within a form meaning: 1. i fill out a form with different questions and once finished its submitted. this will add the information in row 3. 2. i then open this form to read the info of row 3, but then i want to add another piece of information as ‘finished time’ where this information needs to appear in row 3 (another column on same google sheet) showing in this case the time when the subject has finished. thank you for your help. ---

Forms add new rows, so you don’t need a form for this. You just need to enable editing on the existing row. > **[Glide • Adding, Editing, and Forms](https://www.glideapps.com/docs/guides/core/adding-editing-forms)** > > Let users add and edit your data in different ways. ---

Just curious, does it always have to be row 3 or is it just an example you made here? ---

Not gonna work. because it does add to a new row, and i need to add to an already existing row that has been submitted previously. (i use google sheet) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/c/0/c06eee039844f3dad8e2618b7ed587906bd85086.png) Basically, first you submit the entry data (name, time, date) then submit → fills the row (2) then i will open that row again to see the information on it, but this time i also will want to add the exit data (time and date of exit, and any observation). here an image: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/3/5/3554d37d96ce44731342ff953879a65439314e83.jpeg) So the red arrows indicate what i actually need to add/update on the already existing row in my sheet. as this info comes later, i have to add it later on. PS edit is not the best choice as i dont want the user to be able to modify previous inputs. it would defeat the purpose of the job. ---
