Hi,

I hope you're well and safe!

I assume it's because of security reasons, but it would be good to override it. It would help immensely when I develop client solutions with hundreds of columns.

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Override Ability on Max # of Columns to be Deleted at One Time.

As Excel doesn't have this limitation, neither should Smartsheet. Please allow a confirmation dialog to override. When importing from Excel, I'm left deleting five columns at a time for 5, 10, 15 minutes.
