Linking Sheets

I am working on a master SmartSheet to roll up other Sheets into one.

When changes are made in the linked SmartSheets, this is not reflected in the master.

If I add additional rows, my master is not updated

What I am missing?

    Hi Nadine,

    Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s) or some screenshots? That would make it easier to help. 

    I hope this helps you!

    Have a fantastic day!

  • Hi Andrée

    I am facing the similar problem. I have added image illustrating what I am doing

    New rows are added to project sheets everyday. How can link to these rows directly from the master sheet. I have to re-link manually every time new rows are added to a project sheet.

    Another question, is there any way to link to a parent all children in other sheet?

    Thanks for help

    Can you describe this in more detail because I'm not sure what you want to do?

  • Hi Andre'e

    to your questions

    How are the rows added to the project sheets?

    Jira projects / Jira connector

    Can you describe this in more detail because I'm not sure what you want to do?

    I want to be able to link to rows dynamically. I mean if new rows are added to the project sheet, they should be automatically added to master sheet in the designated area as well. Let's say I have a dynamic changing/growing epic in project sheet. Each time a new story is added to this epic in project sheet it should be automatically added to the master sheet as well if this epic is linked to the same epic in project sheet. Is there a way to link to all children of this epic?

    Best,

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, there isn't a way to copy rows to specific sections in another sheet natively, but it could be possible with the API.

    Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

    A possible workaround could be to use a service like Zapier or similar to copy the rows to another sheet and then rearrange them manually.

    Would that work?

    Have a fantastic week!

    Best,
