We use Smartsheet for project management. The stakeholders would like a notification when the timeline for the project increases. The ability to set a workflow to trigger if a date field is greater than a specified date would also be helpful.

It would be great in general if they would add comparative triggers that could compare values in two columns. That way you could do something with a helper column like "When End Date changes, If End Date is greater than Previous End Date, then alert contact in Notify column, plus update Previous End Date to End Date - If End Date is less than Previous End Date, then update Previous End Date to End Date".
Improvements to the conditions and triggers in both conditional formatting and workflows would provide a great deal of value for all. This same thing should translate to Update Requests so that you can send update requests for Column headers that equal a certain value. That would allow you do things like request an update for column W2 when week 2 is next week. Currently if you want to do something like this you have to setup individual update requests for every week of the year. Same thing with conditional formatting - you end up having to make 12 copies to highlight the "current month" or 52 copies to highlight the "current week".
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…
The current logic behind the "Last Activity" column in the True-Up is not useful for performing True-Up nor ongoing reviews of licensed seats. I need to know when someone last made a modification to any sheet regardless of the level assigned to the modified sheet. In my case I have a project manager who is an owner on…
