Sheet Lock?

Can I lock a sheet from rows from other sheets being moved to it?
We have many archive sheets that have more columns that our active sheet - I don't want all those columns added to the active sheet when someone accidentally archives a row and then moves it back to the active sheet.
However, I still want new rows to be added via a Smartsheet Form, or manual, etc.

Hi @Nate Ensor
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- Add a so-called helper column that would prevent the rows from moving.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic day!
