The lack of this functionality is causing our Project management team to not use Smartsheet as their primary platform. This is a must-have functionality.

I add my request for this - as well - for Time and Timezone capabilities (esp the ability to allow a user to see what date/time a task would fall on in their timezone!). This is the one feature that makes it difficult (or impossible) to use SmartSheet for our use cases. At this point, we'll have to go back to Google Spreadsheets and individual columns for each user until the ability to work with time and set timezones for various items.

Why is this is a critical need for us?

• We schedule events and projects across multiple Geographies.
• We need to have setup and teardown precisely coordinated between individuals in different regions.
• We need to ensure that any user who has to cover for that individual (might be in a different country) also knows precisely when that task is due in their timezone).
• Missing timezones and building our widgets too early or too late either adds significant, wasted cost to our work, or it causes our customers/users to not have the resources necessary

I note that Start and Finish each have a type of "Date/Time" - so the timezone information must be encoded in the sheet for Time to exist here. However, I can create no column called "Time", "Date/Time", or "Timezone" nor any equivalent variable for such an operation.

Add to this that the Smartsheet FAQ states that the last editor of a sheet changes the sheet's source timezone to their's - this is problematic with PM's across different geographies are concurrently updating a plan and it alters everything about an event or project that requires cross-TZ-coordination.
