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.
Our program has upwards of 50 active projects at a single time. To assist with team resourcing, we would like to view all our projects in a single Gantt chart where each project and all its phases are condensed into one row, and project phases are horizontally stacked on the same line (swimlane), rather than children in…
It would be extremely helpful if there was a way to have data pull into a form from another Smartsheet source based on selections made within the form. Example: On the form there is a dropdown to select a client property number. The property Name, Address, and any additional property information are then pulled into the…
There is currently a Hubspot integration readily available to connect data into Smartsheet.com We have received an increased need to be able to also connect Hubspot data into smartsheet.eu Is this on the roadmap? If not this would be a great enhancements for many customers.
