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!
