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

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.
In the Resource Management Plan Settings in Control Center, there is no way to link the Client and Project Code fields even though they are not Custom fields and part of the first 3 fields you enter when creating a new project. I can't select them in the Custom Resource Management Information Fields because they are not…
I’d like to see user analytics for WorkApps. I’ve checked the user report available in the Collaborator Pack, but it only shows how many times someone has clicked into the WorkApp each month. I’d like to know: Which resources (dashboards, sheets, forms, etc.) are getting the most traffic? Where are people spending their…
The 'Sheet' icon appears purple in the left navigation but blue within the sheet, creating inconsistency. Aligning icon colors across the platform would improve clarity and simplify user training. Please standardize the icon color to enhance user experience and reduce confusion during onboarding.
