Automatic Parent/Child Assignment
In my organization, we have ID numbers for tasks. They go something like this:
Top Level: AB
Second Level: ABcde
Third Level: ABcde1
Fourth Level ABcde1.1
Where ABcde1.1 is the child of ABcde1 which is the child of ABcde which is the child of AB.
Is there anyway to automate the parent/child relationships based on the value of a column such as this ID?

Hi @BSADK
Hierarchy in Smartsheet is currently a manual task; there is no way to automate Child rows so you will need to indent them individually as needed. Please let the Product team know of your feedback and specific use-case by filling in this form, here!
Thank you,
Genevieve
