Feature Request: Automatically Sync Reports When a Source Sheet is Renamed in Smartsheet

When a report is grouped or sorted byΒ Sheet Name, renaming a source sheet doesn't immediately update the report. The new name only appearsΒ afterΒ a change is made and saved in the sheet. Until then, the report continues to display theΒ old sheet name, which can lead to confusion and inaccurate sorting.

Current Workaround (Manual & Time-Consuming):

To reflect the new sheet name in the report:

  1. Open each source sheet.
  2. Make a small edit (e.g., change a date or note).
  3. Save the sheet.
  4. Check the report for updates.
  5. Undo the edit and save again.

For teams managingΒ dozens or hundreds of sheets, this process can takeΒ hours.

Why This Matters:

  • It disrupts workflows.
  • It introduces risk of human error.
  • It wastes valuable time.

The Ask:

If enough users support this request, Smartsheet can prioritize a feature that automatically syncs renamed sheets in reports, eliminating the need for manual edits.

Upvote this requestΒ if you'd like to see smarter, faster syncing in Smartsheet reports.
