Can't Create New Cards from Card View

I would like to create a new Card, without having to revert back Grid View. I found this: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2449494-card-view-creating-editing-and-sharing-cards

My Card View does not have any such "Add Card" icon. When I right-click an existing card, I see "Edit..." and "Delete", but now "Insert Above" or "Insert Below"

I am the Creator of this sheet.

Is there a trick to this?

That new icon should appear at the bottom of your list of cards. See Screenshot.

It does not on mine.

Are you viewing a published link? Or the actual sheet. IF you're viewing a link to the published report its possible you have no editing available on that sheet. Otherwise, I would contact Support to help you with the issue.

I'm viewing the actual sheet.

I'll ask support. It just takes them forever to respond...

That is so strange. All my test have the ability to add new cards. Have you reached the row limit of 5000 rows?

I noticed the same thing in my card view. I noticed when I have it set to show Level 2 cards, I don't have the add new card + at the bottom of the column. BUT when I change it to Level 1 or All Levels - the add new card + shows up.

Interesting. Thanks for that tip jmpbell!

jmpbell nailed it. It has to do with card levels. It shouldn't matter, but this is a limitation Smartsheet felt comfortable imposing.

Thanks!

Thanks for the response to this. I've been scouring the interwebs to find the solution. @smartsheetdev.io Please remove this limitation! It's more useful to view cards at the lowest level of tasks, and add them from here.

Unable to rename a Sheet
We have a Sheet that is part of our Workspace which we cannot rename. Each time we rename it, no matter the user or where we try to rename it, the name reverts to the original name "Copy of xyz" instead of "V2_xyz" after we refresh the page and does not show the updated name for any users. Is there a bug which causes this?…
