Hi Team,
I added column descriptions to my sheets and created a report to present to my team. I would like the connection of the column descriptions between the sheet and report.
Thank you,
Justin

I would also love to see the column descriptions available in update requests.

Add Column Description to Update Request
Cheers,

I have users re-naming columns to work around this and it's adding chaos to an already complex database sheet. Please add this feature.
Encountered this myself today! Please add this feature!
Would like for info button information populated in sheets to carry over to reports.
It would be very beneficial if the column descriptions could come into the reports from the sheet if the created chose to.
I am running into this same problem. It would make it so much easier for my users to use their reports if they could see column descriptions. Column names are as clear as I can make them but that descriptive helper text would prevent so much more confusion and accidents.
Seems bizarre that it was missed off the original requirements. I never expose the underlying sheet to users as I have them update and view only from custom reports. Not having the column description visible in reports means that the any description that I write to tell the users how to enter the info into the reports is never visible.
I would also like to see the option to automatically use the column description to populate the helper text on a form. (admin configurable of course)
The column information bubble is great for telling people how to interpret or use the column and the information in the column, but it does not carry over into the reports! It would be great to have the column info from the source sheet(s) available on the reports as well.
Column information is essential when sharing reports with multiple and changing users. This can help in self-education on the report without the need for additional support.
+1 This functionality would be beneficial to my team and our stakeholders
Please bump this up the list of things you are building out. It would make such a difference.
Absolutely agree. This seems like very basic functionality to add which would have very meaningful impact.
This wouldn't work when you have more than one sheet as the source of the report. But for single-sheet reports, it makes total sense.
Could not agree more that this functionality would be very beneficial.
Smartsheet does not currently send automated error notifications to Pivot workflow owners when workflows fail, unlike the notification behavior for DataTables, Data Shuttle, and Meshes. Also, when column mappings break on a mesh, the mesh will continue to run with an error. We should expect the same functionality from a…
The Smartsheet Forms currently do not include the attachments in the notification emails as soon as the form has been submitted. Therefore, the Approver and the End Receiver are not able to see the attachments instantly and will have to go to the link to access the table and download from there. We use the Smartsheet Forms…
I'm proposing an added feature to CANCEL an update request without necessarily deleting it, this way we can maintain the history of requests even when they aren't acted upon by the recipient. Sometimes users elect to update rows in grid view rather than from their emails/notifications, or they'll respond to the 20th update…
