Auto Numbering
I cannot reset the auto numbering in smart sheet, I have tried saving and refreshing at every step, when I insert new column numbering starts from the point where it ended last time, it is not resetting to zero.
Is there a way we can clear the cache or use something as default.

Hi @Syed Zaidi
Try this.
- Change the column properties from Auto-Number/System... to Text/Number
- Save
- Delete the numbers you don't want
- Save
- Delete the rows with the numbers you deleted
- Save
- Change the column back to Auto Number and change the Starting Number to the number you'd like the next added row to be
- Save
- Add a new row
- Save and watch the magic happen
Did that work?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Thanks for the suggestion! This worked perfect and saved me lots of work recreating the automations that are tied to my auto numbered column.
