Re: Automation triggered when rows are changed is happening on initial input
Thanks for reopening the ticket! I'm having the same issue and am hoping they'll fix it on their side - will be watching for updates. I agree that this is something that changed on the Smartsheet side and it doesn't make sense for that to be expected functionality because why would there be a "when rows are added or changed" option if changed always means added.

Re: Saving a "Form" for later use without submitting as of yet
Forms are sometimes lengthy and people need to collect information to complete them. Currently they have to submit mid-way and we need to set up update requests or share the underlying sheet in order for them to update/complete the form. Dynamic Views are great as a workaround but require a bit more training to use for most that are not in SS everyday. It would be ideal if there was a save function for users to save work and come back to complete then submit. We would love this update and it would save our teams a lot of time!

Re: June Question of the Month - Join the conversation and receive a badge
One of the best examples of a community I've been part of is the one in my town—Kindred, North Dakota. It’s a small farming community of about 1,000 residents, and what really makes it special is how tightly knit we are. Everyone knows each other, and we celebrate everything. Whether it’s a big game, a town event, or just a beautiful day, the community shows up.
Kindred is especially passionate about sports. It’s not unusual to see the whole town rally behind a team. After championship wins, it’s common to welcome the athletes back with a parade of rescue vehicles—lights, sirens, and all—escorting them into town. That kind of pride and support really sets Kindred apart.
People here are incredibly involved. Volunteers are always stepping up, no matter the event. When I first moved here, my son and I went for a walk and ended up at the Kindred Ambulance building. I had done my EMT training there a few years prior, so I was familiar with the staff. They told us about a night parade happening that evening—and it was absolutely amazing.
The parade was full of life and participation, not just from Kindred but from surrounding communities as well. (Our school district includes five nearby towns.) Floats threw out light-up maracas, sunglasses, necklaces, and candy, while kids lined the streets with flashlights, hunting for every treat. Fargo Life Flight even made a special appearance, flying over town in their helicopter!
That night was such a vivid example of what makes Kindred feel like home—welcoming, proud, generous, and full of heart.
Go Vikings!

Re: New streamlined creation experience
Hi all - echoing what others have stated. Really struggling with the inability to move "sheets" to old folders. I have over 200 sheets that are in the main directory that I cannot move. I have sheets that are tied to other sheets in an existing folder that I can't add in. We really need the functionality to create folders (outside of workspaces) and to be able to move sheets freely.

Re: Dashboards in Copied Folder Losing Report/Data Source References
@Sachin Kumbar
From what we could figure out, it wasn't a change that caused the widget ownership issue. It apparently has been this way a long time.
I'm sure one of the Smartsheet employees can shed some light on this for us. Maybe @Jim Hinkey can help us out
Have you seen the updated API documentation post? https://community.smartsheet.com/discussion/137201/smartsheet-api-docs-site-is-getting-a-major-upgrade

Re: Workflow - SAME SHEET copy a cell to another column
Many times I would like to be able to essentially copy a cell. For example, we get a date the customer requests for delivery - I would like to copy this to a cell called "original delivery date" so we can change the requested date if needed but still hold the original request.

Re: Folder-level permissions
Re:
Have spent the last few months reviewing the capabilities and making a test PMO internally with a small group of user and then discovered we can't share a folder with a small team.
Our PMO required Project Folders and Global Folders and we need to provide access the the entire contents of the Folder with eh people at the Project Level and the Global is executive level and needs to see and read all the data in the Project folders.
I don't see how we can make this happen without folder sharing either in Workspace or Sheet Folders and I we are not going to use some account function with user accounts. Some of the users at the project level are low level users that will never need/use an account.
Is this resolvable? The rest of your features make this a nice Solution, but without this feature, we can not implement it full STOP. I can't have project users accessing Global and I can't share/update sheet access one by one for every user.

Update multiple records or copy/ paste records in Smartsheet Dynamic View
Hello,
I am not sure if someone has raised this question before! But we currently use SS to track the projects at the company and also we've created some SS dynamic views for our partners for them to submit their updates to certain columns in the respective sheets! But they are finding it challenging to edit and manipulate multiple records at the same time since they have to use the form to update record by record. They are asking for same flexibility in the source sheet (i.e. copy/ paste). Also let me know if there is a solution for this rather than using the reports since they need access permission to the sources sheets.
Thanks

Re: Edit contact display?
I'm sorry to see that this thread has been going for over 5 years with no resolution.
The reason I'd like to see the icons only, is because I am allowing multiple assignees.
When there are more than one in the column, it is not possible to see any additional without hovering over the cell, so you can't scan rows and see more than one.
My recommended solution would be to have a checkbox under the column settings that provides the option to "View contacts as initials only"

Re: Request for Rollback - create sheets in Sheets folder
Where do random individual sheets shared by others go if we can’t have the Sheets folder or create our own folders within it?
