Deleting columns in conditional formatting

Felipe Gastaldi

Currently, deleting a column used in a conditional formatting condition requires you to go into the rule and manually remove the column. Would love to have SmartSheet prompt you to confirm you mean to delete, then remove those columns from the rule without having to manually update it.

Agreed, this can be a total pain to find the one or more rules that have to be removed.

Jake Gustafson

Agreed. Total pain. Could even pinpoint what rule to tend to. But certainly, would rather it delete the column and verify that you want to do what you're doing.

WE NEED THIS FEATURE!!! I have a lot of conditional formatting and we have evolved our sheet quite a bit so I wanted to delete columns but I don't want to delete the rules I have built or hunt for it in each rule.

Carson Penticuff

I 100% agree. I have spent a great deal of time checking and rechecking multiple conditional format rules when attempting to delete a column. When you are working with a sheet with 30-50 rules, this can be extremely time consuming.
