Moving Task - Multiple Selection

Hello,

I am wondering if smartsheet can allow a user to move a few tasks all at once to a different due date, or status. Instead of changing each one, one at a time?

Thanks!

Hello,

There are a few ways that you can do this. Some are more automated than others but it's a trade off:

Find and Replace is the most automated but may at times provide unintended results if you use the "Replace All" button. More info on this in the help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2115655-find-replace
Auto-fill is good for formulas and formatting. This will automatically populate formulas and formatting for you based on certain conditions being met: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/1641473-auto-filling-formulas-and-formatting
Drag-fill can help if you want to create an incremented sequence: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/518318-using-copy-paste#dragfill
