Re: Schedule a Form to Send
It would be nice in the automations to send out a form at a specific time, weekly, monthly etc. to emails so staff can be reminded to send over form responses on a project. Not an update, but fill out a form from scratch.
Ability to sort fields in the control center by field name or other attributes
We are trying to clone a blueprint for another team to use and the fields are not showing up in the same order as in the original, so making sure we configure each correctly is very difficult when there are 70+ individual fields.
Can we please make these sortable?
Re: How do you limit items in a dropdown menu field based on the selection of another?
following the above example.
can smart sheets dropdown be used similarly to shopping for car accessories?
select the year in a drop-down box, which limits which manufacturers are available in the next drop-down.
selecting manufacture limits the next drop-down to only car models under specific manufacturers.
selecting a car model would limit the next drop-down to a specific model trim.
Selecting a specific trim would bring out accessories available for that trim only.
Ability to Change Your "End Date" in a Smartsheet Report
It would be VERY helpful if we could allow users to change their End Date in a report for a Task. We have 2 Date columns in our project plans. Start Date and End Date. When a user is working off of a Task Report, it would be much simpler if they could change their End Date as to when they completed their task directly within their Task Report and not have to enter the source project plan and change it there instead. Any reason WHY you can change and End Date in a project plan, but not be able to do this within a Report? Please consider this an Enhancement Request.
Re: Increase sheet row and column limits
I'm looking forward to this feature. At present, we separate sheets to cover data over the limit.
Re: Increase sheet row and column limits
Thank you for your response. Unfortunately, the documentation for Table View's expanded cell count includes warnings that, inter alia, Automations and Dynamic View don't work if you go into that space - so no, it won't work. That breaks whole swaths of functionality that we depend on.
I'm going to just roll my own relational database using Power Automate and Smartsheet. I don't like this outcome but it seems like the only option.
Re: Creating an automation workflow with multiple conditions to populate Size column
Yes. You could then add a "Manual Override" column in the working sheet plus a "Final Size" column. The Final Size column would be
=IF([Manual Override]@row <> "", [Manual Override]@row, [Lookup Value Column]@row)

An improvement is needed for a Delete/ Undelete paradox.
Anyone with access to deleting a project, should be able to undelete that project without changing the ownership of that project.
If I accidentally delete another person's project file, and I am tagged as the person who deleted the project file, I must then contact the owner of that project to undelete it, even though I had no trouble deleting the file, and the system knows it was me who deleted it. The act of undeleting a project, in that case, would make me the owner of the project and therefore, it isn't a permissible action. This seems counterintuitive and inconvenient to a person with a project in a folder with multiple users, who could delete items at any time, and not undo it.
i.e: Anything that I can delete, please allow me to undelete that project back to where and who it original belongs to.
Multiple Workspace Owners in Smartsheet
As a Smartsheet Control Center (SCC) admin for a large-scale Project Portfolio Management (PPM) implementation, I’m requesting support for multiple workspace owners or enhanced administrative permissions that allow licensed Admins to move folders and assets between workspaces they administer.
Currently, Smartsheet restricts folder and sheet moves between workspaces unless the user is the Owner of the destination workspace. Even with Admin access and content ownership, users are blocked from moving assets unless they own the workspace itself.
This limitation presents a major bottleneck in our provisioning process, especially in environments where project workspaces are centrally owned by a PMO or system admin, and provisioning needs to be delegated to program managers or leads.
Use Case:
In our environment:
- All project folders are provisioned via SCC into a staging workspace.
- Select TPMs are assigned Admin access to both the staging and destination workspaces.
- Select TPMs cannot move it into the final destination (e.g., ABC workspace), because they do not own the workspace.
This results in:
- Delays in provisioning due to dependency on a single admin
- Inability to scale folder moves across Workspaces
- Governance challenges and additional process overhead
Feature Request:
Support one of the following enhancements:
- Allow multiple workspace owners so responsibility can be distributed to provisioning delegates.
- Allow licensed Admins with full workspace access to move folders into workspaces they administer (regardless of ownership).
- Introduce custom roles or granular permissions for folder moves across workspaces within the same organization.
Impact:
This enhancement would:
- Unlock scalable provisioning workflows for distributed teams
- Reduce manual effort and dependency on a single admin
- Align workspace management permissions with enterprise-grade collaboration needs
Calendar Y/N Toggle
I have a sheet I use for PTO. On that sheet is a Checkbox labelled "Delete" (first image). I render the dates on the Calendar app (second image) and then when a user double clicks an item they get the details sheet - allowing them to select "Delete" (third image). Why does the checkbox appear as a dropdown? I just want a toggle (yes/no), which is what I setup on the sheet.
