Hello,

I’m trying to build a form that has a checkbox approved column but I don’t want the user to be able to toggle that in the form I want it to be fixed false and not visible to the user when the form submits, is this possible?

Easiest would be to have a column in your form response sheet and just not fill it. Remove any components that fill it.

Ok, thanks for the response, so if a field is blank will I be able to map it to a switch component and then when activated the switch to true it changes the data type to checkbox in google sheets?

The more complicated way would be to create a template column in the tab sheet that contains the form button. Fill the template with the word ‘false’. Then pass it through the form as a Column Value.
