API issue with Add Columns - documentation update

When using the Add Columns API endpoint, the documentation does not indicate that the hidden attribute is required. However, when using the API, I received "missing attribute" errors until I added "hidden":false to the column object. Please update the documentation to indicate that hidden is required. (or adjust the API to not require it)

Investigating with the team that owns Columns. I am surprised that is a required element, but I'll follow up with them and adjust the docs and/or file a bug with them depending on the outcome of my research. Thanks for pointing it out!

I was surprised too heh. Banged my head for a while, then I just tried adding the “optional” attributes one at a time until it worked with hidden defined.
Id guess it’s a bug. I didn’t experiment with the Update Columns endpoint but that probably should also be checked out for the same issue.

Hi Brian, we're not seeing the same behavior on our end. Can you send along your request payload so we can perhaps get at this issue from another angle?

Or if you prefer not to post the payload here, you can send to devrel@smartsheet.com and reference this thread? Thanks.
