Yes, I love it! This would be great and would save me time when creating my dashboards!
Re: Smartsheet API Deprecations
Great question, @Mike B
I checked the official Smartsheet documentation here:
Based on the deprecation process and the most recent changelog, here’s what this means:
Impact on Power BI / Power Automate Smartsheet Connectors:
- If you're using the official Smartsheet connectors in Microsoft tools (Power BI, Power Automate, Power Apps), they should continue to work as long as both Smartsheet and Microsoft update those connectors before the sunset date (Feb 9, 2026).
- It’s very likely they’ll be updated, since they rely on common endpoints and both companies have strong incentives to maintain compatibility.
- However, if you’re calling the Smartsheet API directly using HTTP actions in Power Automate (or custom code), check if you’re using deprecated parameters like
includeAll, unlimitedpageSizevalues, or relying ontotalCount/totalPages, and migrate to the new token-based pagination methods.
@Lee Joramo – Regarding SDKs & Sample Code:
- Smartsheet typically updates SDKs during deprecation periods to support new API requirements, so SDK updates are likely.
- For the
includeAll→ token-based pagination migration, sample code should be available in the API documentation and SDK GitHub repos as new patterns roll out. - Token pagination basics: request the first page with
paginationType=token, then use thelastKeyfrom each response to get the next page until nolastKeyis returned.
My Recommendations:
Audit your setup now:
- Connector users: Monitor Microsoft’s Power Platform release notes for Smartsheet connector updates.
- HTTP/Custom users: Check your endpoints against the Aug 4, 2025, deprecation list.
Start planning now:
- Replace
includeAll=truewith token-based pagination loops. - Ensure
pageSize≤ 10,000 for endpoints still supporting offset pagination. - Remove dependencies on
totalCount/totalPages(they’ll return-1post-sunset). - Note:
/sights(dashboards) will switch to token pagination soon, but it’s not active yet.
Test early:
- Don’t wait until Feb 2026—use the deprecation period to test and refine.
- Offset pagination may still work for now, but token pagination is the safest long-term choice.
Bottom line: Most users won’t see major disruption, but review your setup now so you’re ready before the sunset date. Keep monitoring the API Changelog for updates!

The best thing? The people, of course!
But a more specific answer would be that after you offer a resolution to a question, someone else pops in with another perspective, and it solves a problem for me! So I have to respond (loudly, I might add): THAT'S GENUIS!!

Collaboration
The amount of users that are active on here and willing to help anyone out that is having an issue with pretty much anything. I like that I have been able to help some with formulas they are trying to use on their sheets. I really enjoy building them and seeing how much I can get out of them. To be able to share that and get help when I need it has been one of the best things within the Smartsheet community.

New True-Up page improvements are live!
Hey Smartsheet Community!
We've enhanced the true-up experience to give System Admins greater clarity, confidence, and control over seat management with the following improvements:
- Timeline transparency: Clearer visibility into the true-up schedule, so that System Admins know exactly when to review billable seats and when charges will occur.
- Make informed decisions: See your complete paid seat picture in one place. Instantly know which Member seats are used, which are available, and which need review so you can manage your org’s access with confidence.
- Eliminate billing surprises: We’ll no longer default the true-up page to show only Provisional Members, as this can hide users who need reconciliation. Instead, all billable users will be shown by default for better visibility.

Re: Attachments in Forms
Hi,
I hope you're well and safe!
If you want to have it included in the form, you have to link it from somewhere.
You could also add the form and a sheet/report (with the attachment) side by side.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic day!

What’s the best thing you’ve seen on the Smartsheet Community platform?
Smartsheet Basics ‘cheat sheet’ PDF document developed by Michelle Cullen, which she gave me permission to share with my team. Thanks so much Michelle!

Re: What is the best template to create a time tracking tool?
Hey Aaron, would the "Simple Agile Project" work, I think it covers what you are looking for. Just search for it in the template gallery off your home page.
Re: How to populate a Smartsheet form dropdown
SBP has an add on tool that does this for you. Its called Smarter Dropdown List Manager. See here for more details.
Its in our lowest priced apps and is a great little tool. You can populate dropdown lists from source sheets or reports. The dropdown lists can be in the Grid or in the Sheet Summary, the app updates regularly so the lists are up to date.
My email address is in my profile data if you'd like to reach out to find out more.
Kind regards
