"Record a Date" Workflow not acknowledging Date columns

Chris Topher

I have a dependency-enabled sheet with Start Date and End Date columns, both formatted as "Date/Time" column types. I want to create a workflow that will change my End Date to the date "Status" changes to 'Complete'.

The problem is that when I select "Record a Date" in the "Select an Action" section of the Workflow it states that "There are no date columns" when that is certainly not true.

How can I inspire Smartsheet Workflow to recognize my End Date column in the Workflow?

Hi @Chris Albig

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible because they are used for the schedule calculations (Dependencies), but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!
