Feature Request: Add Customization Options to Update Requests
Our team values Smartsheet Forms for their clarity—especially features like helper text, reference links, and custom end messaging. These improve accuracy and user experience.
However, Update Requests lack these options, making it harder to guide responses effectively. We’d love to see:
- Helper text for fields
- Ability to add hyperlinks
- Custom confirmation messages
These additions would enhance usability and improve data quality across collaborative workflows.
Thanks for considering!

Re: Need Help Collapsing Only Completed Parent Rows and Saving the View for All Users
I am having the same issue but I don't want to collapse ALL rows, just the parent rows that are Completed. Is there a way to save this state for all users accessing the sheet?

Sheet View - board
Within the Board and card view - currently right now we can group the records by certain categories such as "status" which we choose. Is there a way to make "status" the primary view but in addition break it further as the secondary option by "application" thus for example under "in planning" we can see a separate column for each application so its easier to digest for each application what submissions are planned. |

Re: I am not able to create a folder in sheets
@Marisha90 I haven't seen any formal announcements, but I feel like there have been conversations regarding this in the past on other threads related to other updates. I also work with the API a bit and noticed they deprecated a few things regarding the sheets folder and Home tab on 25 March. I know that last week I was creating new folders in my Sheets folder still, but as of this week am also unable to.

Sheet View - Timeline
Within the timeline view - when selecting "weeks" to show the data is there any possibility to create an extra filter which allows the user to narrow the results to 4 weeks of data only? (or a set number of weeks depending on the user needs). Currently i see more than i need and can be difficult to illustrate to wider team. Though how it is now is good when illustrating data in the near term future, but just wanted to see if the results can be narrowed down.(thanks) |

Re: Dynamic View - Search CTRL F doesn't work
A search box would be super helpful on the Dynamic Views. The ctrl+f function works but only on the page currently in view. If you have data further down the page, there is no way to find that data using the search function. We are having to create a filter and update it with the new criteria every time we have to search for an item on the view, which is bringing down our productivity.

Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
Helper columns and Conditional columns stop when I have 300 unit addresses to choose from on any given project. Each of those 300 columns would need cascading options and concatenation to fall into Smartsheet's form logic.
NEED THIS NATIVELY 1000%!!!!
Getting bad data is the antithesis of our Smartsheet Solution!

Can I use automation from a report instead of a sheet?
I have about 30 different smart sheet files that each have a couple tasks assign to my team. I created a report that pulls the tasks from each sheet and lists them out. I would like to create an automation from the report file that sends out the tasks as the due dates approach. There is no automation feature in the top left in a report? Is there another way to automate this without having to go into each of the 30 sheets individually?

Sheet Summary Data on Dashboard
Please allow setting a default font and size for sheet summary data in dashboard Metrics, or provide the ability to multi-select line items to apply formatting changes at once for visual consistency.
