How do I reset data in one table based on the data of another table?

I have 2 separate tables. One of them is a checklist for marking whether an activity was done or not with yes, no,  or na responses to choose from that are located in a column. The other table was made as a confirmation that the user inputted a value for each activity, acting like a submission confirmation; this also sends a notification to both the user and myself and creates a file that is part of a folder. The problem I have is when users submit "Yes" as a confirmation, I want the data of the "yes, no, na" responses to reset and the actual confirmation choice as well. I have already tried changing the initial value of the "yes, no, na" responses to " ". I have also tried creating a formula for the "yes, no, na" column = if(Confirmation = "Yes", "", ""). Both of these caused no change whenever I reset the app. If there is any way to get around this please let me know 🙂 also the app is based on google sheets I've made.

Welcome to the community!

I understand that your app doesn't keep a track of checklist reports and you don't need to review past submissions through the app. You are merely using it as a form to send emails. Is that right? 

And what do you mean by "reset the app" please? Thanks.

Hello, sorry about the late response. I am using this app as a checklist with activities people can mark as complete and an email will be sent to the user and our company. What I mean by resetting the app is clear all the yes/no/na data from my first table so that every time a person opens the app, the data from the previous user does not carry on to this spreadsheet.

You can open each of your columns and:

  •  in Auto-Complete, set the Initial value to: ""
  •  in Update Behavior, check the Reset on edit? option.
