Re: Licenses and True-up confusion
This new subscription model has been nothing short of a nightmare and has lacked transparency to say the least. This seems like some bean counter's brilliant idea w/o any consideration for their customer base. And I'm an accountant (bean counter) btw, so I can say that. This change has been forced upon us and is a clear money grab, not to mention has required tons of our time as customers to try and figure this thing out.
Smartsheet is supposed to (or should) save us time, but clearly leadership has lost sight of who made them rich (their customers) and they don't care that this new model is not only costing us more money, but has ALSO cost us mega tons of time trying to figure this stupid thing out (and maintain it so we're not over billed automatically), when the former system was actually working just fine. Just fine for us as customers, who Smartsheet should be serving, but apparently it was not serving leadership's pocket book, so now, we the customer are serving Smartsheet.
When paying for a product/service, it's should be a mutually beneficial proposition and this new subscription model is about the farthest thing from that! Can someone from Smartsheet actually explain to me why this change was made in the first place? And why was this change forced upon us without so much as even asking or polling us about user mgmt shortcomings?

Folders for Data Shuttle Workflows
I have many D.S. Workflows and would like to save them in folders for each sheet their tied to. This way I don't see all the workflows in a long list
How to delete rows automatically
Community;
I manage a process that injects a fairly high volume of rows into a sheet at least weekly. These rows are meant to be viewed by a sales team, annotated, acted on, and then archived. After about a month they lose all value (key data points are moved into our ERP or POS backend, depending on outcomes).
But the sheets quickly overfill, despite moving as many as possible from the active sheet to a secondary and tertiary set of sheets.
I need to automate deletion of the oldest rows. Any ideas?

Re: Global Update - Find/Replace on Multi-Select Field
Anyone aware of any updates on this feature gap? I am experiencing the same issue.
Re: Delete Rows using an Automation
I can't believe that it's 2025 and we're still asking for this feature!
Feature Request: API - Ability to Enable+Disable Automations
FEATURE: Add the ability to enable and disable all sheet automations via the Smartsheet API.
THE REASON THIS SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED: When a workspace or sheet is duplicated the automations all remain active. So if "Save as New" is used as a backup method, time-based automations will also duplicate. As a result, if there are multiple sheets in a workspace with time-based automations, the user must open every sheet and disable all the time-based automations.
At least two third-party backup solutions use "Save as New" API to function, Smartbackup and SmarterBackup. All their clients would benefit from this, as would all our users in our enterprise environment.

Re: Formula with SUM, COLLECT & CHILDREN
The issue with the second formula is simply one too many closing parenthesis at the end.

Re: Schedule Data Shuttle for a Specific Day of the Month
I have multiple use cases where this tool would work perfectly if I could run it once a month, or on a specific date. But Data Shuttle is limited to selected days of the week and Data mesh is limited to hour options and once a week! We need to be able to run these on more defined schedules for them to be more impactful tools!

If I had to explain it to a 5-year-old, I’d say this:
“I help grown-ups get unstuck. If their team is confused or things feel messy, I swoop in like a helper superhero to show them better ways to work together, stay organized, and actually finish things. I use charts, plans, and a little bit of computer magic to make it happen.”

Re: Option to Toggle off Admins Receiving Access Request Notifications
We are getting flooded with access requests with new updates to asset ownership since Admins are now being alerted. We have many workspaces where users have admin access so that they have the full control to add/edit/delete sheets and make all changes within the sheet (add/delete/edit/reorder columns, etc.). These users are not Admins to control access. Only the workspace owners should be doing that. We would like the ability to specify that Admins do not receive access requests and instead have multiple owners who will handle access requests. Thank you.
