Automated Import from Form to Spreadsheet

kkors

Is there a way to automatically import new data from a cryptpad form to an existing cryptpad spreadsheet?

And if there is no automated solution, then is it possible to manually import new data from a form to an existing spreadsheet?
The only option I have found is to export the complete data of the form into a file and then manually determine where the new data starts and copy it into the existing spreadsheet from there.
I know once exported form data is not automatically updated due to end-to-end encryption.

Is there a more efficient way to do this? Either through a cryptpad feature or through a workaround.

Hello!

Sadly no. We would need to find a way to import data into an existing spreadsheet, which isn't supported by OnlyOffice itself.

A spreadsheet content isn't simply text, it's a very complex type of files. We'd have to reconcile changes, merge them, etc.

Yes, by doing what you described in your message right after your question.

Not at this time sadly.
