When adding statuses in a drop-down menu, having the option to assign a color so that when you create pie charts all the status legends are the same. Or having some feature to make sure your legends were consistent.

@hbaksys I agree this would be very helpful and save a lot of time! I have the same standardized colors for status and having to update them each time is a detail I'd like to not have to think about.
In our dashboards we use the same tracker (in the same Workspace) to generate various reports/widgets for different levels of status updates.
For example, 1 widget may report # of each type of status (4 New, 6 In Progress, 2 Ready for Review, 10 Closed - etc). Another widget needs to report % of each status (18% New, 27% In Progress, 10% Ready for Review, 45% Closed - etc).
Even though the dashboard and trackers are created from templates AND both widgets pull from the same tracker, the issue is both widgets do not default to the same color legend for "New", In Progress", "Closed" etc. "New" in the # widget may default to blue but "New" in the % widget may default to green once the templates are used to create a new workspace.
It would be very time saving if there was a a way to "lock" a specific color in a dashboard legend to a specific dropdown response when multiple widgets are pulling from the same column from the source document. Currently this is a manual process of aligning all widgets to the same colors for each status option.
Please consider adding this feature! At present, it's difficult to maintain color consistency for categories across multiple pie charts and dashboards (e.g. Marketing is Red, Purchasing is Green) which gets hairy if there's 6+ categories to recolor.
So glad I found this post! I thought I was missing where I correct these consistency issues. Just to clarify everyone using Dashboards is manually updating these colors every time they put new data into the source sheets?
As one of the system admins, it is absurd to me that I cannot view or have access to all of the items created in my organization. We have over 11,000 reports, sheets, and dashboards and I can't see them. I have no visibility to if people are using our plan for their own personal use, or what kind of work is going on unless…
I noticed this the other day and tested Ctrl + M – it does not work. I submit ticket to Smartsheet support – they told me that’s expected behavior because it’s not currently available even though it still shows as keyboard shortcut in the menu🙄 and told me to submit new product idea. Please add this keyboard shortcut to…
Summary of Issue All team members work a standard 7.5‑hour day, but only a portion of that day is allocated for project work (e.g., 25%, 50%, etc.). In Resource Management, however, the system currently interprets allocations as a percentage of the full 7.5 hours, instead of the project‑eligible portion of a person’s day.…
