Problem with Today's Dates

Hello,

My office recently created an Internal Communications Intake Form on Smartsheet. The problem is, the column marked Today's Date seems stuck on Feb. 20, 2019. How can I fix it so that it will actually record the date when a project is inputted on our form?

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I would add a system generated column type. This will add the date that the row was created. It's not clear how you are getting "Today's Date" onto your document. A screenshot or example of a formula would be useful to help figure this out for you if you can provide one.

Hi James,

I agree with Mike.

I think you've added a date column with the default date to today in your form. Am I right?

Unfortunately, it will only add the date when you set it so it will not update at all.

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

I have a Pro plan but I cannot create ANY reports. The system does not allow me to choose a folder, and consequently a sheet to create a row report and suggests an upgrade to Business or Enterprise. I'm quite new to Smartsheet and feel a bit disappointed with this limitation, or maybe I'm just doing something wrong. Alberto
Showing "stacked" data / Statuses of items by swimlane
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
