Update multiple records or copy/ paste records in Smartsheet Dynamic View

Afnan

Hello,

I am not sure if someone has raised this question before! But we currently use SS to track the projects at the company and also we've created some SS dynamic views for our partners for them to submit their updates to certain columns in the respective sheets! But they are finding it challenging to edit and manipulate multiple records at the same time since they have to use the form to update record by record. They are asking for same flexibility in the source sheet (i.e. copy/ paste). Also let me know if there is a solution for this rather than using the reports since they need access permission to the sources sheets.

Thanks

Hi @Afnan

I hope you're well and safe!

Have you explored using WorkApps instead?

Is that an option?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Thanks @Andrée Starå for your feedback. I had a look into the Worksapps but I think it won't serve this request specifically. I am only looking for a mass update kind of functionality that allow to update multiple rows or fields within rows in the dynamic view . I hope this make sense.

Thanks

Hi,

I have the same use case as Afnan. It's key to be able to 'Mass Update' rows only assigned to that that user.

It seems like this would be a common ask from your Smartsheet customers.

Is this coming soon in the Smartsheet roadmap?

thanks!

Hi @RB_Desk

I hope you're well and safe!

Great idea! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
