Trouble with Calendar App Group Data

Hi!

I am having trouble with the Group Data By function and using the Custom Category List Order. Some columns that I sort by allow me to choose custom colors while others do not.

Is there a reason why some columns allow sorting by color and others do not?

How can I identify which columns will allow sorting by color?

Examples are from the same calendar but the Group Data By is different

Hi Shannon,

If you're using a Report as the source —which I think you are since the column name is "Sheet Name"— then you can only apply color to dropdown list columns.

I think this is a great opportunity to submit a Product Enhancement Request to let our Product team know you would like to see this functionality within the Calendar App.

I've also submitted a request to include this information in our Help Center article: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2476776-keep-teams-organized-smartsheet-calendar-app
