Re: Alternative to unnecessary browse button change
When selecting Browse from main screen, remove the extra click (Browse All) to display all workspaces.
We already the Recents, there's no reason to have the option to see recent workspaces.
Re: Hidden Form Fields No Longer Writing to Sheet
I have got about 18 forms that are all the same except for one field, this is a hidden field that identifies which shop is completing the form.
The field is a dropdown option but in each form the default is the shop I need it to be. We have used this for 3 years and all of a sudden this morning, that field isn't populating when submitted, all the other information is fine but that one wont work.
If I unhide the field it's working fine.
I have discovered this is the same on all my sheets where there is a hidden field. We have so many forms with hidden fields this is a total nightmare!
Hidden Form Fields No Longer Writing to Sheet
I have a form that has two hidden fields at the top to indicate which location is using the form. These are necessary to the PowerBI report that uses the data. All of a sudden these fields no longer save when the user submits the form. When I unhide them, they show after submission. I would really like to have them hidden again. Was something changed or am I experiencing a bug?
Re: Critical Directory Integration Updates
Same! This has been so frustrating the past few weeks and I also had put in a support ticket. Told it was on our end. Obviously not quite just our end. Lack of communication by Smartshee
Direct link to a sheet file on dashboard
Hi all,
I think this has been discussed before but it would be amazing if we can put a direct link to open a file that is in a sheet on the dashboard. I know the workarounds for this but they all take extra steps just to get the same result. I think having 1 click access would be amazing.

Re: Critical Directory Integration Updates
When did these changes go into effect? Our SCIM provisioning has worked this way for months.

Agreed, this is a huge concern within our company
Re: Saving a "Form" for later use without submitting as of yet
Big +1 for "Save as Draft" - Quick win idea for Dev Team!?
TLDR: Form long. Data dead. User quit. Quick win with query string generation?
An Interim Solution (The "Quick Win"): If building a full solution requires a lot of scope and resources, could the team use URL Query Strings (the "? trick") as a first step for a faster implementation?
Use a URL query string to prefill default values on a form | Smartsheet Learning Center
For the quick win this wouldn't include
- Attachments
- Capped to a maximum of 1 to 2 forms for a single sheet [Not sure on limitations on this]
- No auto capture the user is responsible to hit "Save Draft" to generate
- No submission is ever actually made and no system level management of the URL
Option 1 Flow:
- When a user clicks a "Save Draft" button, the form could generate a custom link that contains all their current answers.
- A URL query string is copied to their clipboard.
- User can now paste that string to where they want for later use
Option 2 Flow:
- When a user clicks a "Save Draft" button, the form could generate a custom link that contains all their current answers.
- A URL query string is copied to their clipboard and emailed to them if the "Send me a copy of my response" is checked and the field populated.
- User can now paste that string to where they want for later use or reference the email later to pickup where they left off.
Even with the character limits on URLs, this would be a huge help for most of our standard intake forms.
We know the mobile app has a "draft" feature, but we really need this for the Desktop/Web version too, but when trying to do attachments that also need to be added or filled out and expecting a team member to do it all via mobile is going to impact adoption negatively. The mobile app is a supporting tool the core ecosystem.
Character limit of Sheet Names
Hi,
I realized that the length of a sheet name is limited to 50 characters. Is there any way to get arround this?
Cheers
