Why can't I use automations on RYG ball columns?

Hi,

Does anyone know why we can't use automations to change the cell value in symbol columns, like the RYG balls? It doesn't make sense to me that it's available for dropdowns but not for these.

I do realize I could use a formula here, but that is not what I am looking for. I am looking for the specific capabilities of the automation.

Does anyone know if they are planning to introduce this at any point?

Thanks-

Symbols are a column type you cannot update via Automation. RYG Balls, Harvey Balls, Arrows, etc.. All of them.

It would make for a great Product Idea submission, or one to Up-Vote if it already exists. You can search for one or enter a new one here: https://community.smartsheet.com/categories/smartsheet-product-feedback-&-ideas?sort=top
