Why are users able to enter over 100% in %Complete column?
Hello
Surprised to see users can enter over 100% in %Complete column.
I tried to constrain with pull downs but that isn't allowed for project dependencies...
Any thoughts?

While the column name is "% Complete", the formatting is based on percent and there is no constraints in the column for range.
It struck me as odd when I first starting using Smartsheet, but I got used to it.
Maybe they will add data validation on Text/Number and this could be user defined, but I am not betting on it.

Thanks Craig
Odd indeed, especially since the column is part of project tracking dependencies!

Originally, the Duration column was not marked as special column -- it was just a Text/Number column with the Duration features. Maybe they will do the same with % Complete.

Could definitely use this. Currently I have a special auto-formatting rule set up to highlight when a % Complete cell is greater than 100%, but as all formatting rules create a processing burden on your sheets - it would be much nicer if this could simply be handled with a limit.

As long as the limit is not universally imposed, I'm all for constraints/validations on a column level (like restricted drop down lists)
