The ability to create a much richer experience for row comments (eg. text formatting; sections; to do's, etc..) would be a quick win that would dramatically improve the overall experience for this [almost] great tool!

I think the HTML text editor type capabilities for Conversations Comments would be a great improvement. I could really make good, practical use of it now for what I am working on. Thank you.

While implementing the transition from Monday.com to Smartsheet for several of my company's teams, the lack of formatted text options in the comments section is one of our top complaints amongst users. It is something so basic to have already and so common, that it is rather surprising to know it is not yet developed in an Enterprise level PMO / Project Management system.

Perhaps use HTML with a WYSIWYG editor toolbar. It doesn't have to be Microsoft's RTF. I believe when people are asking for Rich Text in this suggestion, they are using that terminology generically. So, anything to enhance the formatting to allow bold, italic, bullets, etc. will work.

Therefore, I'm adding to the conversation in hopes you understand our needs for managing projects and providing easier to absorb communication within the tool sooner than later. After all - we're not in the 1990s any more folks. Dive in and get some competition parity ASAP here please. 😁

Thank you for your consideration!

This seems like a simple update that would be highly impactful for Smartsheet's competitive advantage against similar software. When tasking someone with something, being able to provide clear communication about what you're requesting is key. Formatting with bulleted lists, numbered lists, bolding, etc. helps immensely with communication. Because :

You can respond to the specific number if it's in a list
You can draw attention to the bolded items
You can add sub comments that pertain to a specific item
1. Like this if this is a sub task or sub-comment
It looks so much better and makes my eyes happy

Ability to duplicate dynamic views
We need the ability to duplicate (copy) an existing dynamic view to other sheets. We use templates and Smartsheet Control center, but when creating a new sheet (using SCC or Save As New) the dynamic view(s) are not also copied/duplicated. This creates a LOT of manual re-work. It'd be great if, from the Dynamic View…

Good afternoon, Recently there was a change that made searching a dropdown by typing inside of it switch from an exact match method where typing S would only show entries that begin with S to a search within method where typing S would show all results with the letter S in them.
