Allow Manual Adjustment of Row Height

Excel has this functionality and it is invaluable for managing the display of data in sheets.

Just because I have a lot of narrative information in a cell does not mean I want to have it all visible all the time when in the sheet. Often it is more valuable to see more rows than to see all the information in a cell at the expense of different rows. (Turning off text wrapping, and widening or hiding the column are not sufficient answers.)

Hi, do we know how to adjust row height?

Pat Canning

The same way Excel does, either by dragging it to the desired height or specifying a numeric value.

I have seen multiple posts over a few years asking how to adjust row height, but no viable workaround or no indication that Smartsheet is planning to add it as a feature in a future release. This is a simple function. Column width can be easily adjusted, why not row height? I have rows with multiple comments that need to be tracked, but having the entire comment history displayed in a row makes the Smartsheet difficult to read and requires extensive scrolling just to navigate up and down in the Smartsheet.

I was able to do it by highlighting the cell of a row you want to change the height in, moving to the bottom right of the highlighted cell until your cursor is a black '+' sign, click on the plus sign and slide it upwards and the row decreased in height. Not quite the same as excel, but worked.

Allow users to "request access" to a Dynamic View, like with other Workspace items
It would be useful if users who clicked a Dynamic View link (that they were not previously added to) could "request access" to the Dynamic View, and provide a reason, so that the admin can easily grant that access. The use case for me would be to avoid having to pre-populate and then maintain a user group of viewers, but…
