I hope you're well and safe!
My comment is that I'm excited it's on the roadmap.
Also, to clarify, I'm a Smartsheet Expert Consultant & Partner and not a Smartsheet employee.
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Feel free to contact me for help with Smartsheet, integrations, general workflow advice, or anything else.
...Or a branding/style sheet with pointers to formatting... E.g. Red cell/white text is an error, yellow = warning, green = good, grey=done. Like the metrics flow through on the formatting but from a centralized sheet. Could be used for style formatting, page setups, errors, etc.
I've used automation to record a date in a column called "updated" just to force it to refresh. I set the automation to run every morning at 1AM. I have Data Shuttles that update in multiple directions at midnight and that guarantees that everything is in place before the final refresh. We were having trouble with a dashboard that required several sheets to set it up and make it pretty. The sheets would refresh multiple hours apart, causing mixed data and a bunch of other gobbledygook. The automation worked well.
I still want conditional formatting and alternate row shading on reports.
This is such an excellent idea, and it's nice seeing that it's on the roadmap. One of my most used features in Smartsheet is Reports - and being able to highlight information specifically from the report itself would be a game changer!
Great to have this ability in a report — as it could help with communicating out to different stakeholders with different interests.
Very happy this is on the Roadmap - one of the pivotal uses of reports for us is to distinguish specific criteria from a source sheet for respective audiences, this will go one further in helping us communicate effectively to those different audiences.
