Bulk Change a Columns Properties

Olivia Doiron

I have a column that is being used to store barcodes; it was initially set up as a 'contact list' column due to some of the barcodes having a leading zero which would be stripped if set up as any other property. Smartsheet rectified that problem and now I am having to change the column to a 'text/number' column to get the reports to work properly when searching particular barcodes.

Is there a way to bulk change the column properties within a workspace opposed to changing each sheet one by one?

Unfortunately, it's not possible if you don't have the Premium App, Control Center, but it's an excellent idea!
