Please tell me there's a way to have contractors (need access to a published sheet outside of our organization) have the ability to use the conversation feature, but with no other edit rights.
Hi Tyler,
Do they need to only view or reply/add comments as well?

Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic day!

They need to reply/add comments as well, but with no other edit permissions.
I believe you can achieve this by using the Update Request automation workflow.
That's a tricky one!
I don't think it's possible! We could maybe use an Update Request workflow as Debbie also suggested below, but then you would have to lock all other columns except for the one triggering the Update Request.
I'll get back to the post if I come to think about a solution.
Andree, you are right in that some of the columns would need to be locked but only the ones that you think the end user would need in the update request that you don't want them to be able to edit; just leave the columns that you do want them to edit as unlocked and this will be fine.
Locking the columns will effect anyone shared as Editor - but if the only other people using the sheet are licensed users then you can share to them with Admin and they can then update the locked columns while they are still locked.
This approach really depends on how many collaborators you have and how many need editor rights to all columns or just editing rights to one or two.
Good luck!
I have a number of forms created and one of the fields is a contact list. When I am in the sheet I am able to start typing a name and it offers suggestions and then links to that persons contact. When I try to do the same thing in a form it does not offer the suggestion and then does not link to the contact in the sheet.…
Is there a RACI template that Smartsheets already has or does anyone have any suggestions?
I am still new to Smartsheet and I am trying to add automation to send a notification to a email account but it is not working. I have no restrictions on the project . Can someone help.
