How do I ensure links to reports and cells persist when copying a folder of artifacts for a project

Alex Hackford

Hi, I have a folder of artifacts that I was using as an 'artifact tree' for new projects my team manages. The folder includes all the sheets, reports and dashboards that a project manager would need to set up a new project from scratch. The Dashboard w/in the folder is linked to various sheets and reports w/in the folder. Previously, when the folder was copied, all the links to sheets and reports would persist and the project manager only had to rename their project artifacts, update their project plan and the dashboard would populate project data from the linked sheets and reports without having to edit links. Now I am having to edit the links from everything to the dashboard. Is there a project setting or folder setting I am missing that would allow these links to persist? Without these links persisting it is a ton of extra work we did not previously have to do to set up a project.

Hi @Alex Hackford

Maybe it's possible that the setting in photo below got switched accidently? Fingers crossed that's the issue as the fix is easy. It needs to be on "Newly created sheets".

I hope that helps.
