I am sure this has been said before but I would love the ability to expand the primary column choices from just text to also date columns. This would be really helpful for us folks in manufacturing when it comes to daily metrics.

I'm surprised that date would be useful in primary, but of course there's some use-case. My gripe is, even when the column is locked to text/number, why not allow us to enable a dropdown list of options? For example, I want free-text in my primary column, but there are also a few important and often-used values which are especially meaningful, and I want the users to have those options in a not-restricted dropdown list (not least of all to control nomenclature, and thus ensure conditional formatting works properly, etc.). Seems like there's no particularly good reason this isn't available.
For you, wanting dates, I wonder if you could use the number that Excel assigns to dates. Excel assigns 01JAN1900 to the number 1 and every date afterwards is just the next whole number. So your post updated 12/05/22 is either 44693 or 44900, whereas today (06DEC2024) is 45632. You could do this with a formula in the sheet, datediff between the date and 01JAN1900, expressed as a number of days. Of course, to your point still, you couldn't have this very simple formula in the primary column.
As one of the system admins, it is absurd to me that I cannot view or have access to all of the items created in my organization. We have over 11,000 reports, sheets, and dashboards and I can't see them. I have no visibility to if people are using our plan for their own personal use, or what kind of work is going on unless…
Our sheets & workspaces require many people to have Admin level capabilities, which means that when someone requests access to a sheet or workspace, that email is sent to every Admin. This causes confusion and higher risk of no access granted (because people have learned to ignore the emails) or the wrong level of access…
Today you can create a form and add logic. If that logic requires that requests need to be made for X days in the future you can add logic to help. For instance is the date requirement is not met you can hide fields so that information cannot be submitted completely. You can display a banner if date requirements are not…
