When adding statuses in a drop-down menu, having the option to assign a color so that when you create pie charts all the status legends are the same. Or having some feature to make sure your legends were consistent.

@hbaksys I agree this would be very helpful and save a lot of time! I have the same standardized colors for status and having to update them each time is a detail I'd like to not have to think about.
In our dashboards we use the same tracker (in the same Workspace) to generate various reports/widgets for different levels of status updates.
For example, 1 widget may report # of each type of status (4 New, 6 In Progress, 2 Ready for Review, 10 Closed - etc). Another widget needs to report % of each status (18% New, 27% In Progress, 10% Ready for Review, 45% Closed - etc).
Even though the dashboard and trackers are created from templates AND both widgets pull from the same tracker, the issue is both widgets do not default to the same color legend for "New", In Progress", "Closed" etc. "New" in the # widget may default to blue but "New" in the % widget may default to green once the templates are used to create a new workspace.
It would be very time saving if there was a a way to "lock" a specific color in a dashboard legend to a specific dropdown response when multiple widgets are pulling from the same column from the source document. Currently this is a manual process of aligning all widgets to the same colors for each status option.
Please consider adding this feature! At present, it's difficult to maintain color consistency for categories across multiple pie charts and dashboards (e.g. Marketing is Red, Purchasing is Green) which gets hairy if there's 6+ categories to recolor.
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…
