column description on sheet does not show on report
Hi,
I have two sheets with column descriptions. I have shared these sheets via a report for users to make their updates. From the Report they do not see the column descriptions.
Is there a way they can see the column descriptions?
Thanks,
Peggy

Hi @Peggy
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, 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 Row with the Description that would show at the top of the Report. I sometimes do this in my client solutions, and it works perfectly.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
Best,

Although this is a good workaround, this does not work for us. We filter by user name and if i add the helper row, it would have to be set for all the users.
Thank you for your help and response.
