Sheet API - Identify if sheet is created from Project template

aditya.mandavi

Hi,

Is there any way we can identify if a sheet has been created using Project template (default pre-existing Project template on Smartsheet) or not using APIs?

Thanks,

Aditya

One way could be if the API uses a different user than system, you can check who created the sheet and that can give you an idea, that combined with the creation time maybe

As for a specific identifier in the sheet object has no reference to the origin of the sheet (user/API/CC) https://smartsheet.redoc.ly/tag/sheetsObjects#section/Sheet-Object so there is no way to know by just reading a sheet, you have to kind of deduct it.

In the other hand, if you have an API creating full templates (kind of the same way Control Center does) and yes it is possible, unless you use a different user, there is no way to tell apart which one was created by CC from API.
