Re: Customize the From Name of Smartsheet Alerts and Requests
This is a helpful step, but not what we've been waiting five months for since the first announcement. We need and have asked for the ability to set the "From" name and/or address to a specific email address.
Even though the "Send from my organization" option allows email replies from users to go to the sheet owner, it is not the same. In most cases, the sheet owner is not the same person as an intake process owner or a request process owner because the sheet owner is a Smartsheet admin or experienced user setting up the sheet and its' automations for a company department or decision maker.
We need more flexibility on this than the three new options because workflow emails look like spam to outside customers/clients and even most internal employees. Case in point, I recently submitted a request to a vendor of ours that is a large purveyor of coffee with a name that rhymes with "bar trucks" who used Smartsheet for their request intake; but my request (and the requests of my coworkers) did not get processed for weeks because our email filtering thought the messages coming from "Mike Redacted via Smartsheet <automation@app.smartsheet.com>" was spam. Our network team had to change our email filtering to allow the emails to pass even though we are already using Smartsheet and Smartsheet automated emails.

This may sound strange but I would pick my Mom. She passed away in 1999 and I miss hearing the sound of her voice.

Enable File Handling in Bridge
Make it possible for Bridge to hand files as variables and results from actions.
The example being a SharePoint API call returns a file that will then exist in the reference data of that complete action.
This file/reference could then be used in future actions such as another API.
My scenario required the use of the Attachment endpoint API for Smartsheet itself.

Grid Edit in Dynamic View
Please allow a grid-edit option for dynamic view so that a user can edit multiple entries at once. It is very time-consuming and cumbersome for a user to only edit records one at a time from the details pane.

Re: Introducing the 2023 Core Product Certification Exam + Community Badges
Thanks! I did the certification and found it fairly straightforward, although I wish there was a way to turn the missed questions into a learning experience at the end by providing more information on the questions that were missed. I want to be able to fill in the gaps in my knowledge about some of the topics, but there is no record of the specifics missed, only the general themes.

Re: Conditional Formatting on Sheet and Row Level
It would be great to be able to multi-select "If [this column]..." columns in Conditional Formatting, so that we don't have to clone and duplicate the same formatting for many columns with the same condition.
For example, I have a number of currency-type columns and I'd like them to display in red font if they are less than zero. Do do this currently, I would need to clone the same conditional format many times for each individual column!
Alternatively, this could be achieved with adding an "OR" option, similar to the "AND" option.

Dashboard - dropdowns to hide data
tldr: something where I can hide or display data in a dashboard without just putting in a link to the data.
I am creating a dashboard that is very data heavy - think lots of charts, graphs, reports, calendars. I have a draft where instead of showing the reports/calendars I'm adding a link to them instead but what I really would like is to see if there was someway to have dropdowns where you can choose to see the data or keep it hidden. In the attached I took a screenshot of the EAP dashboard and pointed to the carrot and a second screenshot from a Word template where you can expand or collapse headers as examples of what I'm potentially looking for.
What I am envisioning is that you could have a widget within a widget where widget 1 is the main item with your data. Widget 2 then pulls in widget 1 and widget 2 is what you use to hide or display the data from the carrot (in the pic). Just a thought from someone who knows nothing about how to build these!
