Hi Team,
I added column descriptions to my sheets and created a report to present to my team. I would like the connection of the column descriptions between the sheet and report.
Thank you,
Justin

Would love this feature as well. And frankly, I am surprised it has not been done yet.. it doesn't seem that complex from a programming perspective to pass that information along to a report.
I completely agree. One of the uses of reports is to make things easier for designated audiences by showing only a subset of the information. Why would we want to make it more difficult for them by not explaining what each column means? Please implement the requested feature.
I can see forum posts relating to this feature request since 2018. Is there any update on this? Any idea if it can move from the Wishlist to the backlog?
Particularly useful when a report has more than one user group / audience
Column descriptions from sheets should also be visible on all reports using that column. It is important information for anyone using a report, just as it is for those viewing a sheet. Thank you
Please prioritize this enhancement!!
This would be a game-changer!!! Please prioritize this enhancement.
Please prioritize this request! We don't let most of our users see the underlying source sheet so we need a way to let them know what the column is used for.
Ideally, I'd like to have separate column descriptions per report so that I could customize the use case for those specific users but if nothing else, let me use the existing description from the base sheet.
I am seeing the option for Column Descriptions in the Column Properties Drop Down on my Reports, but it is Grayed Out (not available), just kind-of teasing me…
Does this mean it is only available to select Accounts, or am I missing something?
Is it still not possible to see the "Column Description" in a Report View?
I remember someone asking how to do this years ago and it not being available… but has this feature still not been added?
I can see the "Add Description" option in the pop up menu when clicking on the three dots in a Report. However, these columns already have descriptions and the option to add one in the report is grey'd out.
How many votes does it take for the enhancements team to take the request seriously …
This is a MUCH NEEDED FUNCTION for your users. I'm seeing this ask date back 3+ years. Please advise. Finding a WORK-AROUND is adding extra work. I want to work SMARTer. Please advise.
How is this not possible yet? It should be the default behavior as it makes reports useless in a lot of situations where you need to explain the columns.
As title says we desperately need this feature which should be default. Without this feature many reports can be useless as the users cannot check to see exactly what the column is for.
Pay me and I'll do it for you. This cannot be too hard to implement.
Our program has upwards of 50 active projects at a single time. To assist with team resourcing, we would like to view all our projects in a single Gantt chart where each project and all its phases are condensed into one row, and project phases are horizontally stacked on the same line (swimlane), rather than children in…
Description: When users upload multiple photos in one action via the Smartsheet iOS mobile app, all files are assigned the same generic name and timestamp. This makes it difficult to identify individual photos and creates confusion in workflows that rely on accurate, unique file naming. Why This Matters: Industry Standard:…
Our consistent experience is that Smartsheet objects can take anywhere from 5-20 seconds to load. This feels extremely slow when you're actively facilitating a call and working between sheets, waiting for it to load. Other solutions in the industry have extremely fast, sub-5-second load times. I would request the product…
