LOVE IT! Is dependency editing on the enhancement roadmap for table view?

Re: New streamlined creation experience
I totally agree with every one in this comment session.
I still don't understand why such major update was made without previous notification, this is terrible, I never thought I would have to go through this with SmartSheet to be honest.
I haven't read any positive comment on this and still have not receive any oficial communication form the company as to what to expect, next steps or even a brief explanation as to how we can use this new update for a more positive and streamline process.
I think that what's more frustrating is that from one day to another one simple function such as folders is not available anymore and only the Workspace is. I think that it will be great if we could decide whether we want to crear a sheet or whatever under any folder but at the same time if we are ready to create a new workspace, well we could. But right now I can't even drag and drop content and this is very frustrating and I think that has made SmartSheet less capable of doing things in a very organize way (Which is always the way we determine personally based on our line of work) not SmartSheet dictating how we should work from now on.

Add Resource Management Default Option to Sync Hours vs. Allocation %
Our team prefers viewing resource allocation in hours rather than percentages. Currently, the Resource Management tool defaults to syncing Allocation % only. Is there a way to sync the Hours column instead and display allocation in hours in the Resource Management tool?
In the Assignment Details report, availability can be viewed in hours per day, but you must manually set each task to display in "Hours per day," which is time-consuming. We'd prefer the option to default this view so all tasks in Assignment Details are shown in hours automatically.

Re: Cannot see the Advanced Options in Request an Update Workflow
I'm having trouble finding the Advanced Options for the Update Requests. I want to add fields to the update request for visibility only. Where did that option go?

Re: Are New Folders No Longer Allowed In Sheets Directory
Not a positive change at all and i received no notification of the change either. My colleague has been frantically searching for the sheet she just created and now I know why she can't see it. I don't need a new workspace for every new sheet. I have things organized the way they work for our State agency. Disappointing.

Disregard Tasks with Future Start Dates When Calculating Project % Complete
Add a "switch" to "Project Settings" that will disregard children tasks that have 0% complete if they have a future start date.
This will produce a more accurate and realistic project status — without each Smartsheet client having to build custom Project formulas.

Re: Multiple Line Entries with one Form Submission
Here we are in February 2025, and I am reading through all of the above comments and want to add my request for such a form. Currently we are using EXCEL. The client completes the form and submits via email. Ideally, if SS developed an application where we could have one form that has the ability to populate multiple lines of data would be fantastic. Like the other posts, it is too cumbersome to have clients submit multiple forms, or have to hit a back button, or have the form reopen after submission.
Is there any update on when SS may have a solution to this request (from what I have read as far back as Jan 2021).
SS please do your magic and help with a solution!

Dashboard Rich Text Widget Excessive Vertical Scroll Bar
Is anyone else's rich text widget have excessive amount of vertical scroll bar action? My OCD always tries to prevent users having to scroll vertically. I have used Smartsheet for over 7 years and never had such excessive white space in my widgets despite trying to expand the widget that should definitely prevent vertical scrolling. Does anyone have any reason this would be happening or solution on how to prevent this?
Re: adding pulldown items
The 'Assigned To' column in Smartsheet is a special "Contact List" type — not a regular dropdown field.
In Contact List columns:
- You don’t pre-fill a huge list of people manually inside the dropdown.
- Smartsheet auto-learns who gets assigned over time.
- Default allowed contacts can be limited by the sheet's "Available Contacts List" or workspace permissions.
- If your sheet is not set up with a predefined contact list, it can "store" only a small number of manually entered names (often 6 or 7) before starting to replace them dynamically.
This "auto-replace" behavior is standard Smartsheet behavior for Contact List columns without a properly configured Contacts List.

How do you apply text wrap to the sheet name column in a report?
Since this is not a column from the underlying sheets, but rather a system-generated field, is there a way to apply text wrap to this column in a report?
