Column wont say visible

Desertbird

Hello,

I have a few sheets that I'm working on with several hidden columns. One column (Timestamp) was hidden, but now we want it visible, however it only stays visible for a few hours before going hidden again. It is a locked column as well and I've tried unlocking it, saving, and locking it again but by the next day it is still hidden.

Is there something I'm doing wrong? I have about 40 sheets like this, and most have saved that column as visible except 5 of them which keep reverting back to hidden. If I can't get it fixed, I'll have to remake the column but is there a better option?

@Desertbird Have you checked activity logs to see who is hiding the columns? Or if (somehow) there is an automation causing that?

I don't see any automations or users that are causing that. Just new entries.

Hi @Desertbird

I hope you're well and safe!

Strange!

If you haven’t already, I recommend submitting a support ticket through the new Smartsheet Support Portal.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
