Re: Restore Asset Creation Controls in Smartsheet USM
@
I fully support this. We were lucky enough to just sneak into legacy subscription model before they changed to USM. We fully mobilized to unwind this application from our enterprise. As a result, we went from a 6 figure spend to a 4 figure spend.
The lack of governance for this platform is astonishing.
I'm not hopeful for any changes to be changes, though.
Re: Column limit
400 is the maximum number of columns, but that could also decrease based on row count because there is a 500,000 cell limit in a sheet.

Re: Is it possible to share a Smartsheet that has a locked default filter with someone else?
Hi, I was wondering the same.
I want to share info from a sheet with a "current user" from the assigned to sheet, without sharing everything.
Creating a dashboard, with a report doesn't seem to work, as you need to share the underlying sheet with the "current user" as well. So there seems to be no way of sharing only certain info from a sheet, without having to share the complete underlying sheet to that certain user.
Am I correct?

Calendar App on Dashboard - First rows not showing in display (not a filter issue)
Hi All,
I've added a Calendar to a dashboard, and the first 1 or 2 rows on calendar are not displaying. I know the content on calendar is correct (confirmed when viewed outside of dashboard).
There are no options or ability to scroll up to see the top content, nor does resizing the widget correct this.
First image is of dashboard showing display issue. Second image is of app, showing correct display.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Re: Change Cell Value Automation - Can I add a formula to the cell?
It's ridiculous that this functionality doesn't exist already. Prefacing the text with a double-equal (==) would be enough to tell Smartsheet it's a formula and not text. This is what annoys me about Smartsheet… so many simple things that could make it so much more powerful and customizable that continue to be ignored by the developers.
Forms logic for single (pro users)
The idea is to allow single (pro) users to have conditional logic abilities when building their forms. At present, you can only do this with an enterprise account which requires a minimum of 3. Another option would be to have a pro plus account that has this option and functionality as part of the plan for single users to have access to.
Chart Widget Font Size Update
The new update to the Series Font labels to shrink to match the bar size within the Chart Widget has made all of our data labels unreadable. We trend a variety of month over month data for a 12M period across 30+ Dashboards and have always been able to display the Data Labels clearly. Each data label is over 7 figures and scaled appropriately. Now, with this update, the font size is minuscule. I would respectfully request this feature to be turned off or have the ability to be disabled based off of the users preference.
Re: Collections vs Work Apps
Commenting to follow this. I don't have collections but I've heard this feedback. It makes me very nervous that SS is going to replace WorkApps with Collections before Collections becomes a viable alternative.
I've also heard good things about collections, so I'm hopeful.

Re: Formula Guidance
There is an extra closing parenthesis at the end that needs removed.

ISCRITICAL for Parent Tasks
Currently, Critical Path does not propagate from a Child to the Parent Row. Create a functionality or a new formula for ISCRITICAL to show on Parent Tasks, maybe even up through a specified number of levels in a hierarchy.
