Hi,
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, no, but it's still an excellent idea!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

What’s the best thing you’ve seen on the Smartsheet Community platform?
The amount of group collaboration that takes place. I love the fact that we have these monthly questions. It gives me an opportunity to get to know other users virtually. I look forward to the questions at the beginning of each month. It gives me a chance to think about what is going on and gives me a minute to pause and reflect. It makes me feel like I am part of something bigger than my little world.

I am going to shout out @Paul Newcome for THIS comment, in which he presents a very elegant solution for adding dates. Anyone who has gone through the intricacies of working with dates will understand how difficult this can be at times. I have a bookmarks folder dedicated to clever Smartsheet solutions… this one is top of the list.

Re: Report Widget Capability - Drag & Drop to create Report Widget in Dashboard from Workspace Panel
Consider this a monstrous upvote. This is an intuitive means of eliminating significant friction in dashboard management - I count four individual actions + one load time eliminated by this approach.
I see the utility applying beyond a single report time-savings; drag and drop simplicity means that I could focus first on formatting dummy report widgets (two-column layouts, three-column layouts, etc), then quickly slot in the appropriate reports.
Dashboard management in Smartsheet has significant room for improvement; this feature request would move us closer to a frictionless experience. Great rec Chizu.

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.
