Re: Allow User to Expand the Text Box for Customize Messages in Automations
I agree, we have multiple automations, with similar text and minor adjustments and the size of the box makes it difficult to identify any additional updates needed to be made. Usually I need to copy/paste test somewhere else to see the whole message to make sure I caught everything.
Re: Allow User to Expand the Text Box for Customize Messages in Automations
This is maybe the thing I've had the most issue with while working in Smartsheet for a year and a half. Why is this box SO TINY? It is impossibly small. I have large monitors and can see at most 4 lines at a time! Please please let us open this box in a modal or expand it in some way! It is insanely frustrating to make edits, especially if we're making a lot of changes to a lot of emails!
Re: Allow User to Expand the Text Box for Customize Messages in Automations
The vertical size of the message window in the Automation dialogue box borders on unusable. The vertical size needs to double. 4.5 rows is not enough to see enough of the message in context nor scroll effectively. This should be an easy adjustment to the "# of lines" in your code.

Re: Allow User to Expand the Text Box for Customize Messages in Automations
I would love to see the ability to enlarge the box where you put in customized comments for automations. I use this frequently and have several different types of messages. The feature works well, but it would be nice if I could expand the size of the box to be able to see everything in one view rather than scrolling. It would also be helpful when editing content in that box because it is very difficult to highlight and scroll to the exact part of the text needed to edit.
Re: Rich Text Formatting in email notifications (and Update Requests)
It would be great to allow formatting in email automation like:
- bold
- hyperlink
- highlight
- indent
- etc....
Re: Rich Text Formatting in email notifications (and Update Requests)
Is there any update on this since July? Any chance this will come with the newly updated Sheets in early 2024?

The "Task Bar" is what determines the color of the Gantt / Calendar color in Conditional Formatting.

It was so great to check in and celebrate just how much you've accomplished in the first half of the year — from health milestones and new certifications to making time for the people who matter most. 💙 For the second half, whether you're already crushing your goals or still have a few you haven't started, there's plenty of time, so go for it! I'll be cheering you on.

Re: August Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
This month, I thought I'd look at things from a personal lens. The best thing I've seen on the Smartsheet community platform was my Core Product Certification badge added to my profile!
I studied for a while to ensure that I knew the content and platform well enough that I could pass the exam. This was also during a time where I had some pretty big changes and restructuring on my team, so I was already stretched thin. But that feeling of achievement and being recognized for my certification was an amazing moment!
