    Hello,

    I'd like to have a customer view the form submissions from a Google spreadsheet. But I don't want them to see the edit submission link which is included. I've tried deleting that column but each new submission adds a new link. 

    Thanks

    I'm sorry, but that is not possible. A workaround would be to create a report through one of our reporting features:

    If you really want to keep the google spreadsheet, a workaround would be to add a script that would auto clear/delete the column values when new data is added. I am trying to get this for you. I'll let you know.

    2. Copy this script:

    function myFunction() {

         // Spreadsheet ID

    var ss = SpreadsheetApp.openById("1ZC0X6mGiO8ECX0bglmYMuVMJV2DJTZyeJuw6cvTsJyg");

     var sheet = ss.getSheets()[0];

       // Columns start at "1" - this will delete the first column

     sheet.deleteColumn(17);

    }

    Replace the spreadsheet ID: 1ZC0X6mGiO8ECX0bglmYMuVMJV2DJTZyeJuw6cvTsJyg

    Replace the column number: If your Edit Link is in the column H, put 8 in this section (replacing 17). 

    2. Go to Script Editor in your spreadsheet file. Tools > Script Editor:

    3. Paste the script in the editor and save.

    4. Create a trigger to auto run the script on every change made in the spreadsheet. Edit > All Triggers:

    5. Configure the trigger like this:
