Force people to change a second cell when they update first cell
Hey Everyone, is there a way to force when they update a cell in one column ( in this case Status), they must also update the Assigned To column before they save?
How can I combine grid data and Sheet Summary fields into one editable grid sheet?
I have a Sheet Summary Report that pulls data from 48 individual sheets — this includes both the row-level grid data and each sheet’s Sheet Summary fields. I want to have all of this information (both grid and summary data) together in a regular grid sheet, so I can format it, add formulas, and use it in dashboards more…
Forms - Ability to Lock fields
First of all, I use Smartsheet Gov, which I know differs (substantially) from Smartsheet Commercial, as I previously worked with that for about 3 years at my previous company. First Question, for forms, is there a way to LOCK a field? We have a field that comes up auto populated with the TDL #, based on the site where the…
Sheet/Report Usage
We have create a multitude of sheets and reports and we are wondering if there is a way to get a usage report for the sheets/reports? Without having to go into each one individually and access activity log?
Currency format on a Form
I have a sheet with a number column that is formatted as currency. On the form, I have the validation as a number only, but when the form is being filled out, the number does not have the currency format. This is a budget column for large projects and when the amount is in the millions, it is difficult for the person…
Error when loading attachments
Hi all, for the last 2 days I am unable to load any attachments. I have restarted my computer. I have cleared my cache and cookies. I have saved the doc to my desktop and tried to upload and drag and drop and nothing works. Please help.
Why are the users roles not updating
Ever since the paid users vs. free users rolled out, it has caused my team issues. I have a user that I updated to member, but he still gets the notification that he's a viewer. I then upgraded him to admin and he's getting the same notification. It's extremely important he has editing access. This has caused a slow down…

Hi, I’m unable to fill out the Smartsheet form. Please find the attached screenshots.
Sheet Editor rights
Hi everyone, I am on a Pro plan and have Admin right. I wanted to share my sheet with a colleague and give them edit rights. When I shared with them, Smartsheet told me that non Members will only have Viewer rights. However, when I shared it did allow me to select "Editor" and my colleague is also able to make edits. So…

Sorting Columns in Report Widget in Dashboards
Is it possible to sort a report widget in dashboards? We have data that could be sorted by date or by location name depending on the use case. Is this possible? I know the underlying sheet can be sorted by column, but I can't see a way to sort the data in the report widget.
Trace Data Moved by Automation
Is there a way to see where data is coming from if it is input or copied into a sheet by an automation? I have a sheet that is receiving to lines of data every night. I am not sure where these two lines of data are coming from. Initially I thought I was just failing to delete everything I didn't need after a sort, but I…
Prepopulating Forms
I'd like to be able to enter a unique value in a form and have it prepopulate a few other areas of the form. For example, I'd like to enter an employee ID number in the FORM, and once entered the First and Last Name sections of the FORM would automatically populate with the correct information.
