I've been experiencing the same problem and found your post. I did not have any conditional formatting set, but the coloration looked fine on the report regardless. The DynamicView coloration was spotty and inconsistent. I was preparing to send in a support ticket but figured I should try applying conditional formatting first in case that was their recommendation. I did so and boom -- the coloration is now consistent. This is still a bug and I'm going to submit a ticket so it's logged, but applying conditional formatting seemed to fix the issue (for me at least).

Inconsistent Formatting in Dynamic View
I have added colors to columns, but it seems to inconsistently format in the Dynamic View as seen in this screenshot. Does anyone have any advice or feedback?
Thanks,
Jeanna Wright

@Jeanna Wright Is your highlighting applied via Conditional Formatting, or manually? I notice that all of your cells not highlighted are blank, but of course there are other blank cells that do have highlighting applied...
-
I have formatted the color for the entire column, not using conditional formatting. I have attempted to troubleshoot it, and having information in the cell does seem to rectify the issue, but not all cells will have information.
-
@Jeanna Wright It sounds like you've troubleshooted this pretty thoroughly - I suggest submitting a support request to Smartsheet: https://supportportal.smartsheet.com/s/. If time allows, could you post an update if/when they help resolve this? I'm curious!

@Julie Fortney I sure will!

@Julie Fortney, I received feedback that it appears that if there is no content in the cell, the formatting doesn't appear; however, I challenged that explanation because it isn't consistent with what I see in my Dynamic View. This issue was forwarded to another team for evaluation.
However, I continued to do some of my own testing. I had members of my team submit new items via a form. New items flowed with the appropriate formatting. There seems to be a bug for formatting existing items but bypasses the bug for any new items submitted.

@Jeanna Wright Thanks for sharing this info! I'm glad you found a workaround for new items. Hopefully they can identify and correct the bug for your existing data.

@Andy Lorance, THANK YOU! I tried this previously and it did not work but I am going to try it again because It still seems to be an issue!
-
Is anyone from Smartsheet addressing this? I have found that DynamicView is not displaying the formatting of decimal numbers consistently, and am wondering if this is related?
-
I'm using Conditional formatting and even so, the Dynamic View is spotted 😥
I'm creating a ticket for the support team because this is not the first time and although we tried to force some refresh, it's not working.

Same problem here too - ugh - its the coloration on some rows…. :(
