Feature Request: Automatically Sync Reports When a Source Sheet is Renamed in Smartsheet
When a report is grouped or sorted by Sheet Name, renaming a source sheet doesn't immediately update the report. The new name only appears after a change is made and saved in the sheet. Until then, the report continues to display the 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:
- Open each source sheet.
- Make a small edit (e.g., change a date or note).
- Save the sheet.
- Check the report for updates.
- Undo the edit and save again.
For teams managing dozens or hundreds of sheets, this process can take 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 request if you'd like to see smarter, faster syncing in Smartsheet reports.
