Group Rows - Parents & Children

Hi everyone,

I’m hoping to get some help from the community. Is there a way to automatically group rows in a parent-child format?

For example:

  1. Parent A
    • Child A
    • Child A
  2. Parent B
    • Child B
    • Child B
  3. Parent C
    • Child C
    • Child C

Each time I add a new row, I’d like it to automatically group based on this logic.

If I add a row name "Child C" I want it to group to the Parent C and so on…

Thanks in advance!

    This is not possible natively in Smartsheet, however @SSFeatures has a paid browser extension that does just this!
