Is there a way to add a new summary field from a master project template?

stephenwiant

Wanting to create a project template that allows me to add new summary fields and have those summary fields populate all of the sheets created with the template, is this possible?

Paul Newcome

You might be able to accomplish this with the API.

Hey @stephenwiant

Paul is correct - there's no automatic way to push a Summary Field to multiple sheets that have already been created. The Summary Field would need to already exist in the Template before the sheets are created.

The Smartsheet API does have a way to add Summary Fields, if you wanted to do it programatically instead of one-by-one in the App. Here's the documentation.

Cheers,

Genevieve

Thank you Genevieve, super helpful.

Yes, there is a way to do this using Control Center's "Global Updates" feature.
