Did Shortcut Widget Loose the Ability to link Dashboards?
I usually link my smartsheet dashboards directly with the Shortcut > Smartsheet Item > Dashboard, however I cant find any dashboards when I click to go link one. Is this just on my end or a permanent change?
Re: Activity Log should reflect all changes made to a sheet (in detail) including Workflows
Please vote in the idea so Smartsheet considers as a feature in future releases: https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/138996/audit-trail-all-emails-that-are-sent-out-using-automations/p1?new=1
Re: Was the option to change Dashboard background color only (not use a theme) removed?
Laura,
Hi! I also don't see the option to only replace the background color. However, when I go to the Dashboard Theme menu and click on 'Add New' to Custom themes, my current, unsaved current color scheme pre-populates into the artifact fields - background can be changed from there. Does this functionality not perform the same way for you?

Re: Version Control/Backups That Maintain Cell Links
Not only is this an essential feature that is missing, it makes me sound like a joke to my organization when I demonstrate the closest feature is to setup a "data shuttle" so it can export an excel file that needs to be reuploaded and reformatted - or that a manual "save as new" copy needs to be saved into a sandbox - or a weekly export that would need to be reuploaded and reformatted from an excel document (no better than the weekly export) - with neither means to map columns to their types nor keeping previously established parent-child relationships.

Re: Request for Rollback - create sheets in Sheets folder
Nice to see the entire Smartsheet customer community hates the update and the developers have absolutely zero response or engagement whatsoeverโฆ

For a 5-year-old, I'd just slightly tweak it: "It's my job to make it easier for other people to do their jobs!"

IDEA: Slightly Offset Formula bar while editing so that you can see or click on referenced cells
I can't be the only person that is VERY bothered by having the formula editing bar in the SAME row as the row you're applying it to? It drives me nuts when I try to type in a formula and the editing window COMPLETELY COVERS the entire row, so I cannot see the columns/cells that the formula is referencing, nor can I click on the cells I want to reference.
I have 4 Solutions. All 4 would solve a lot of frustration :)
1. OFFSET the editing bar up slightly. Move the formula editing bar up just slightly. Make it only cover 80% of the current row and 20% of the row above it, instead of completely covering the current row. This would let us see if the cells behind it are highlighted and to click on the cells if we wish to add them to the formula. The percentages might need to be adjusted but the idea is the same (eg. 75/25%). Since MOST of the data would still remain on the same row, we would not be confused with which row we are editing.
2. Wrap the text in the formula editing window if it takes up at least 25% of the current window. This seems like it would be the simplest to implement.
3. If no text is typed for a few seconds, make the current formula window slightly transparent so that you can see if the cells behind it have colors. This option is not as good because you can't click on the cells behind the formula bar this way, but at least you can see them.
4. Allow us to press ALT+ENTER to move the text behind the cursor to the next row, without breaking the formula. This is currently possible if you a) Delete the = sign in the formula, b) navigate to the place you want a line break c) ALT+Enter d) Add = to the beginning of the formula.
Thank you!

Re: Pie Chart Color Consistency
@hbaksys I agree this would be very helpful and save a lot of time! I have the same standardized colors for status and having to update them each time is a detail I'd like to not have to think about.

Re: Pie Chart Color Consistency
In our dashboards we use the same tracker (in the same Workspace) to generate various reports/widgets for different levels of status updates.
For example, 1 widget may report # of each type of status (4 New, 6 In Progress, 2 Ready for Review, 10 Closed - etc). Another widget needs to report % of each status (18% New, 27% In Progress, 10% Ready for Review, 45% Closed - etc).
Even though the dashboard and trackers are created from templates AND both widgets pull from the same tracker, the issue is both widgets do not default to the same color legend for "New", In Progress", "Closed" etc. "New" in the # widget may default to blue but "New" in the % widget may default to green once the templates are used to create a new workspace.
It would be very time saving if there was a a way to "lock" a specific color in a dashboard legend to a specific dropdown response when multiple widgets are pulling from the same column from the source document. Currently this is a manual process of aligning all widgets to the same colors for each status option.
