How can I easily identify all Reports impacted by a column name change?

Ami Veltrie

I need to change a column name and, as we know, Smartsheet doesn't push the name change out to the Reports. Instead, it inactivates the old column within the Report. I need a way to proactively search (run a 'where used') on a column to see all the Reports its used in so that I can manually update each Report.

Does anyone have an easy way to identify impacted Reports?

LOL wait until your users report breakage. Sorry, I wish I had an answer.

Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
