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.
Although we are extremely proficient when it comes to reducing load on our smartsheets (we use pivot, data mesh and data shuttle extensively), we still find ourselves hitting capacity limits (mostly because of the number of columns in conjunction with some pretty complex formulas). Breaking up data between sheets and…
As the smartsheet admin for Europe, it would be extremely helpful to be able to view all Automations / recurring emailed reports in one place as opposed to sheet level. It's almost impossible to ensure everything is working correctly / delete recurring emailed reports without this.
It would be extremely beneficial to have the ability to manually assign colors to individual projects within the Timeline View. Currently, project colors are automatically determined by the Dashboard Theme, which limits flexibility and makes it challenging to visually differentiate projects in a meaningful way. Allowing…
