If I do a copy of a sheet that contains a mapping, I want that copy to have the same mapping without me having to reload the editable pdf and redo the mapping of the columns.

One enhancement for document mapping would be that when a sheet is copied you wouldn't have to remap the PDF fields.
Would be very useful to have the option to copy over document mappings when I save as and create a new sheet
It is crazy that this does not work out of the box.
We do 8-10 new sheets from a template every day. Each new sheet currently has to get manually mapped to a PDF with over 70 fields.
Not automation. Not workflow improvement. Not helping me recover time.
I should be able to choose from a list of mappings I've prepared and attach it to a template.
How did this get out the door without such a basic capability?
Will this fix apply also to control center templates that have an automation with Doc Builder as the action? I know you said that it will allow mappings to travel with when a sheet gets copied. My question is will this fix also allow the mapping setup in the action of a control center template automation to automatically setup with the newly created sheet when provisioned through control center (currently it does not)?
This is a big deal. We are in the process launching over 900 projects at once with documents on our template. The way it sets today it is not scalable at all. I cannot believe this wasn't in the initial rollout.
Hi,
May I know if support for copying Doc Builder mappings when a sheet is copied already available or not?
Hi @Lin Hasbullah
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, It hasn't been released yet, but it's on the roadmap.
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

We need this sooner than later! This is a big issue for us. We have 8 PDF documents that need to be added to each project and at any time we have 900 open projects.
we always learn how Smartsheet is scalable. Well it is just not document builder 😜
please please please make this work sooner thank later. This kills our gains with SSC.
Hi @Andrée Starå ,
Thanks for the response! However, appreciate if this process could be expedite. 🙏
I second to what has been said by @Joe Goetschel . As for my case, we have more than 100 documents to be generated. Not being able to copy the mappings would be time consuming and inconvenience. 😅
I have heard this is on Hold but "On the road map" Still..........Please everyone share this with others. It's HUGE and I feel like people DON'T use document build as much because of this limitation.
I wish Smartsheet decision makers could see the manual process of remapping hundreds of fields after copying a sheet. I would even settle for the API for now and write a Python script to do it but this is insane as is.
Please.
There should be a configuration for keeping an existing document mapping when copying a sheet or creating a template from a sheet. Remapping every time is painful when there are 100+ fields mapped in a sheet that will be copied many times for business purposes.
That would be so helpful!
Dashboard widgets are currently mostly static. I can display counts and charts, but I cannot click into a specific part of a widget to drill into the underlying records. It would be a big usability improvement if widgets supported interactive drill-down. For example: Click a bar segment (or stacked segment) to open the…
I had Technical Support Case #09045069 in relation to this issue. I was told to get the API documents corrected, I needed to post to here. Update API Documentation Some (all?) of the API calls related to Alternate Email Addresses require both an Enterprise Account and to be manually activated by Smartsheet Support. The API…
Dear Smartsheet, You really need to add an administrator-controlled option to manage the license banner display for free users. The banner not being able to be removed by the administrators presupposes that the administrator wants the free users to have licenses. One of the main reasons we love Smartsheet is the ability to…
