FORMS
Yes i love the collaboration, the ease of use, the dashboards, the easy conditional formatting, Reports, all the formulas, and of course the community. But the ability to create forms to collect targeted data from submitters with the ability to incorporate it into our sheets was one of my first loves of Smartsheet
Also, not to mention, all the supporters and content creators. I have used other large products and i find it harder to locate valuable user driven responses from the other products. With many other products you can find articles with a bunch of responses that say "me too" or "same issue here". The Smartsheet community has a lot of active ideas from fellow users. Smartsheet does it well, and there is a ton of quality info to consume.

NEW! Multi-widget editing in dashboards
Hey Community!
New feature alert! Multi-widget editing allows you to modify multiple dashboard widgets simultaneously, which saves a considerable amount of time and ensures all of the widgets you select look uniform.
You can access multi-widget editing by selecting more than one widget and clicking on the pencil icon to edit the common properties shared between the selected widgets, like font styling, widget behavior, and more.
This feature is available for Trial, Pro, Business and Enterprise plans.
Learn more about editing multiple widgets
You can also stay informed by subscribing to receive product release updates for curated news of recently released product capabilities and enhancements for your chosen platform. As new releases occur, you will receive a daily email (Monday-Friday) with news of what's released.
Cheers!

Milestones displayed as diamonds in Calendar App
Currently, all tasks including milestones are displayed as a bar in Calendar App. Checkmark at the bottom of bar for milestones is not immediately visible. It will be useful to customize the symbol, specifically have the ability to switch milestones to diamonds, in Calendar App.

Re: Linking Predecessors to Other Sheets
Agree that it would be extremely useful to enable cross-sheet predecessors to integrate diverse and interdependent workstreams owned by different resources. Thanks.

Re: Join the conversation on STEM education and help nurture the next generation of visionaries
When I was a teenager, growing up in Paris, we all knew about the brilliant, amazing ''femme d'exception'' that was Marie Curry (Maria Salomea Skłodowska) - so, it was without surprise that her name first came to mind after reading this Join the conversation topic.
I see her name has been submitted, and I am not sure I could express my respect any better than @Marcela - so I decided to present another woman, whom at the age of 14, was certainly not your ordinary high schooler.
When she was a toddler, she learnt algebra by watching her older siblings study. Before her fifth birthday, her favourite pastimes were reading books and solving mathematical problems.
She was already in her first year of medical school, at the age of 20! When most people of her age were adjusting to student life as an undergraduate, she had already graduated from medical school.

Re: Dynamic dropdowns - Waterfall request
Put me in the camp that would love to see Dynamic Dropdowns like in Excel.
Just a basics.....if you choose something in Column A it narrows down your choices in Column B, which narrows down choices in Column C, etc.
Column A - Chevy, Ram, Ford (choose Chevy)
Column B - narrow down to only transmissions for Chevy. (Choose the proper transmission)
Column C - Show the proper documentation for the choices above.

Re: Chart Labels: drag labels overlap & stacked column labels
Reposting this here from another thread on advisement from @Genevieve P.:
We also need this to be fixed. It is preferred to have labels inside the bars for stacked bar charts, and options in general for series labels. We have a >10-stage process and are using the stacked bar chart to demonstrate % completion for each stage. In case it is helpful, we see label overlaps if a previous stage is 100% complete and subsequent stages are <50% complete. I am not able to expand the chart wider to minimize the overlaps due to the set dashboard width.

Re: Workflow: both Copy and LINK specific columns from one sheet to another
Datamesh works in concept of moving specific columns, but datamesh does not work with specific automations, such as if a status changes or a date gets added. It also doesn't include attachments.

Automation Lock Column
We need to auto-lock a column based on criteria like we can lock rows within the automation workflow.
