Re: Saving a "Form" for later use without submitting as of yet
Hello,
When using this in state organizations, it would be helpful to allow people completing forms to be able to save as a draft and return to the form to complete at a later time. PLEASE take this option to production!

Control Center Global Updates - Sheet Filters
Would love to have the ability to apply shared filters on a sheet via Global Updates.
We have a project plan template in our blueprint and have created a standard set of filters (red tasks, yellow tasks, overdue tasks, etc) and would like to apply them to all active projects.
The only option we currently have is to manually recreate the filters on each project plan - we have about 80 plans.

Re: Dynamic dropdowns - Waterfall request
This would be a major game changer for us - centralising all dropdown menus and allowing for cascading menus would resolve a few business processes around project management.
Currently any change to these lists is laborious as we need to change every active project manually, as a result we don't often bother as it's often not worth the investment in time to manually update 50 different sheets.

Re: Dynamic dropdowns - Waterfall request
This would be such a game-changer feature!
My mind goes wild with all the possible solutions I could develop for clients if I had this available.
2023 = the year of dropdown list improvements? 🙏

Automation enhancement - create complex workflows
As of now, the automation feature is good but we are limited to only a few levels down in our flows. We cannot create a flow that can change a cell value in one column, clear the value in another column, add a date stamp in a third column all within the same flow.
Request - please allow for complex workflows so we can configure many changes to occur based on a single trigger in the same flow. The work around today is for us to create multiple workflows versus to accomplish our automations.

Re: Feedback requested: Shape how Smartsheet communicates with other tools!
I would love an upgraded WYSIWYG editor for Alert Someone Emails. I think the power of using dynamic entries (i.e., {{field name}}) and Message Only could be enhanced by being able to customize your email body to the next level and improve the recipient's user experience. Putting this in combination with Dynamic View or WorkApps, then guiding users into those views would be great.

Re: Contact List Dropdown - Adding multiple contacts to the list at once
I got it to work using the following workaround turned my column into a drop down, pasting my list of emails there, and then converting it to a contact list.
Use the following format for your copy paste
FirstName LastName<email.domain.com>,
It will list the names in a dropdown for contacts on a form.

Automated approval for multiple rows in one email
Would love the capability to send an automated approval for multiple rows in one email (like update can do). I need users to sign/approve their receipt of their IT equipment -- one device/item per row in my Smartsheet. If I use Approval -- then a separate email goes out for each row (some people have 10 rows). If I use Update I can't use the built-in approval process, which is preferable because it's better than just having a field that gets checked.
Thanks!
