Re: New streamlined creation experience
Adding my downvote to this as well. Maybe there is a strong backend reason on Smartsheet's behalf for this change? From a user experience standpoint, I can see no benefit at all. Moving sheets into workspaces was already trivial. I have added a "sheets" workspace that will not be shared with anyone to replace the default sheets location. This isn't a huge inconvenience, but it is a minor inconvenience with no perceivable benefit to the end user.

Re: Is Microsoft killing the Outlook Add-in?
Thank you @Genevieve P. - We've activated our Legacy Tokens until June - Let's hope there's a way to keep this type of functionality alive, post-June.

Customize "someone has mentioned you in a comment" email
Hi,
The automatic email that comes when someone tags you in a comment could be opened for customization to include other fields from that row. It would be helpful in case there are other workflows that modify the row (e.g. moving it to a different sheet).
Thanks.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
Agreed! This is much need. For a comapny-wide competition, I want to use Smartsheets to collect votes. I want to make it so that if someone selects their department in Dropdown 1, they can't also vote for their own Department in Dropdown 2, because that field would not appear. Is that currently possible?
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
@Cleversheet , in the end I did go that route and seperated out into 2 fields with the subset selection being different for each and just skipped putting it all into one field. The smartsheet in question has alot of fields and i was trying to keep the data all in one field. We have 2 forms for different purposes but the selections where all in that one field so i was hoping i could just filter instead of adding new.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
DocuSign, Laserfiche, Excel, OpenOffice/LibreOffice Web plugisn, AirTable, FastForms, JotForms, SurveyJS, Monday, Formstack, Connecteam, Trello, Asana, Atlasstian, Jira, ServiceNow, and many more now support this.
Smartsheet is now the sole Project Management software on the market that doesn't have this support. It could've been the first, when this request was submitted. Now, it's the last.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
Almost every form I build would benefit from cascading dropdowns, often multiple. As noted above, it is highly tedious and often prohibitive to require multiple columns for what should be able to be captured in one column. In many cases, it requires upwards of a 1/2 dozen columns between the different groups and data consolidation helper columns. Multiply this over several datasets within a single form, and you rapidly diminish the number of rows that the associated sheet will accommodate.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
I've been addressing this with logic in my forms, but on a much much smaller scale. It it already cumbersome on a small scale. It's terrible that clients are walking away from Smartsheet because of this missing feature. My client is also utilizing other products (Form Assembly) because of the missing features in Smartsheet's forms. Very unfortunate.
Re: Cascading Forms Dropdowns
We just lost a health services client moving to Smartsheet over the lack of cascades for a massive survey they want to do. We did find a solution with zoho forms/analytics if anyone is looking for that.
Definately do want to be able t obring them home to Smartsheet one day!
