Hi, without Control Center, is there a way to execute changes to the template which automatically applies that change to all the reports already created? E.g. if I decide I want to add one column to one report after I created the 80 folders, do I need to do it 80 times manually or is there a way to do it just once? thank you!

Hi @CubeLabs01,

That’s right, you’d need Control Center to make changes to assets that have already been created from your templates - you’d be able to do this with global updates. 

It may be possible to add a column to your existing reports using the Smartsheet API (see this section of the API documentation: https://smartsheet.redoc.ly/tag/reportsRelated). If you’d like to know more about the API, check out the following help article:

Hope that helps!
