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.

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.
Re: The New Board View
@Marcela Is there anyway to turn this view off? It is messing up my teams' workflow. For some reason, the Board view is defaulting as the default view. Which is causing their screen to freeze and unable to view the sheet.

Re: Restore Asset Creation Controls in Smartsheet USM
100% support this! I also wish Smartsheet had the ability for Admins to view what members have created or a "mirror" account to see what they see.

Re: NEW! Modern chart styling and readability enhancements
Any thoughts on how to fix getting all the value labels to show?
It's working fine on the first widget showing all 3 value on the semicircle. But on the second widget, I have 4 tasks that are In Progress yet there is no value showing on the semicircle. Even dropping the font down to 8 doesn't work. It's hit or miss across all my dashboards on getting all 3 values to show.

Re: Restore Asset Creation Controls in Smartsheet USM
We also fully support this.
In fact, I similarly requested some type of administrative control over who could be "permanently" classified as a 'Member', to alleviate the ongoing burden the new USM was creating for us. Since they essentially replaced the "Licensed User" toggle with a non-modifiable "Member" toggle, it seems it should be fairly easy to just re-enable that toggle to allow an administrator to determine who could be a "Member" versus a "Viewer". This would be a good start, and should not place much of a burden on the modifications required to do so.

Locking rows in Dynamic View
It would be great when you use an automation to lock rows in the sheet, that the fields become uneditable in the dynamic view.
Is there a way to generate a customized letter in document generation?
I have been reviewing document generation capabilities and it appears that the only documents that the system generates from a Smartsheet are invoices. Is there a way to generate a customizable letter template?
Background: Our team creates thank you letters that go to our constituents. They have a basic template and then there is customized information added.
