I am using Nextcloud Forms on a Nextcloud server hosted by tabdigital.eu. I assume both Nextcloud and Forms are the latest stable versions, but I can’t figure how to check version numbers from my dashboard. (I access my Nextcloud with Vivaldi 7.1 on MacOS, and the “About & What’s New” page doesn’t display properly.)
Since Covid-19, I have used Google Forms for student comments and attendance. One convenient feature is using a similar form each week, and having each new batch of responses added as a new sheet in an Google Sheets spreadsheet. This allows me to easily tally attendance, for one thing. I am trying to ween myself off all things Google, but as far as I can tell, while Nextcloud Forms can create a new spreadsheet for each form, I don’t see any way to have responses added to a pre-existing spreadsheet. Is this currently not possible, or am I missing something? If it’s not possible, I would like to suggest this as a future feature.
I suppose an alternative would be to use the same form each week, possibly editing the week number and subtitle? Then all the responses of all students for all weeks would be dumped into the same spreadsheet…?
Yes this should work.
Yes it would overwrite the existing entries in that case.
We already track this feature here: Linked spreadsheet: Never overwrite existing data · Issue #1970 · nextcloud/forms · GitHub
