Stop Predecessors from being deleted when a date is deleted
Sometimes we need to just delete the dates to start fresh or copy rows to use for another project, but deleting the dates also deletes the predecessors. I was trying to test a schedule template with many hours of work on defining the predecessors. When I wanted to blank out the dates again so it could be used as a blank new template, all the predecessors were also deleted. This can also happen accidentally when users edit a date, which then deletes the predecessors without them realizing it. So if the date shifts again but is still dependent on a previous task, that relationship is lost.
Please change this functionality of predecessors being deleted for ANY reason, unless the user deliberately deletes a predecessor directly.

More about Rebeca:
It’s no longer January, but you know I love goal-setting and celebrating accomplishments. So, for this edition, I wanted to share a milestone of mine, and in turn, maybe hear a bit about one of yours. Deal? 😉
Last year, I checked a major item off my bucket list: visiting my first of the New Seven Wonders of the World, Chichén Itzá. (Bonus win: catching an eclipse from Mérida the night before!) Since this was the first trip I’ve ever organized entirely on my own, the learning curve was steep, yet I had fun with it. If you ever need Mérida recommendations, or just some fun facts, I’m right here for you!
Fun Fact: There is a cenote (a natural, water-filled sinkhole) located right in the parking lot of the Mérida Costco. You bet I had to go see that.
This year, I’m embarking on an arguably bigger adventure: I’m house hunting! 🏡🫣 Wish me luck. Much like last year’s trip, the process is teaching me A LOT.
My question for you: What is one goal—past or present—that has challenged you to learn something new?

Love this question! For a long time now, my answer to this question has been dynamic filtering on dashboards. SO excited that we might be seeing this soon!! 😊

It's hard to go with just one.
Better contact management. Between sheet contacts, user contacts, and account contacts, it can get a little frustrating when trying to set things up in large solutions.
Go back to browse type navigation instead of the search type functionality in Move and Copy row automations.
The ability to default whether the "Workspace" tab is always opened or closed when opening an asset.
Quite a few things in Table View.
The ability to default to the Browse tab when logging in.
The ability to group workspaces.
The shading on charts when you have fill line enabled back to how it was before where it would go all the way to the bottom of the chart.
Getting rid of all the dots on line charts when you hover over them or at least only activating them on the line you are hovering over instead of every single line.
So many more, but I figure that's a good enough start for now.

Re: Post Collection Release - Still Need Folder-Level Permissions
Thank you for posting this @VBAGuru Collections is irrelevant. Folder level permissions would allow people to be admins of folders while allowing you to have users not be an admin for an entire workspace. This would help when creating a reporting/admin folder you don't want people to mess with without having to create a bunch of different workspaces when you should be able to just create a folder for them. By the way folder level permissions is something that exists in many other applications so it shouldn't be impossible.

Re: Post Collection Release - Still Need Folder-Level Permissions
I would agree that we need to have permissions at the folder level, it is causing a lot of extra time and effort to be sharing each individual sheet within the project folder.

I would like to connect accounts from previous employers so that badges, trainings, certifications roll into my profile with my new employer.

- Conditional dropdown lists, and I am excited as I believe they are on the way 😁
If I was to be cheeky and put in two… I would say as SUMPRODUCT function, an idea which needs more votes here…
Happy March everyone!

Smartsheet form with built-in AI
You could have a form with built-in AI. Eg: we have a form that becomes a row in our matrix tracker Smartsheet. For
example: Marketing Manager Geraldo works with
AI, so the form will start asking his name/email. Based on that, the form will make suggestions(what kind of Asset: Brochure, Flyer..) , category(AI for industry, AI for home..). The form will also suggest file
names and the Asset title. (we have some rules for flies names and Asset Titles).

Conditional Formatting in Reports is towards the top of my list for enhancements that I'd love to see. Being able to directly edit formatting from the report itself without going back to the source sheet would be a game changer.
