Adding additional Attachment and Comment columns

KatieFields

Hi! Just wondering if it is possible to add additional attachment and Comment columns within the same sheet? I work with a lot of cross-functional partners where attachments and columns may be important to different groups. With notifications being set up, it makes it hard to differentiate. Thank you!

I have a couple of ideas.

 

For comments, you could just add a column called Comments and use it for free text.

 

For attachments, you can make the text in your sheet a hyperlink- and link to supporting documentation on an drive that's accessible to all. Just right click the cell - see screen shot.

Betsy's ideas are intriguing.

The general answer is no, there is no way to add a Comment or Attachment column. You can (and should) submit an Enhancement Request here:

You may be able to leverage what I discuss here:

as part of the requirement was related to attachments (and this design resulted in the attachments being split into two groups -- one viewable by the vendor and both viewable by the org's team)
