Automation deactivation issue
Hi Smartsheet experts, I have a recurring issue with an automation deactivating itself, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what the problem is. The trigger "Status" column is manually adjusted - it is not connected to any other automation. Can anyone see an issue here that I'm missing?

Why are my answers not showing up when a document is generated?
I have my Smartsheet set to generate a document when a form is filled out. The document is a fillable PDF and when the document generates not all of the answers populate on the generated PDF.

Scaling Up: Document Generation That Goes Beyond a Single Row
It would be highly beneficial to enable document generation using data from the entire sheet, rather than being restricted to a single row.

Document Builder: Can you convert multi-select items from commas to bullets?
With generating a document (using Document Builder) from a row in Smartsheet where one of those columns is a multi-select column, I'd like the end result to not be a long horizontal list of all those multi-options selected separated by commas as how it's outputting by default today. Instead I'd like the options listed out…

Is there a way to mass-delete attachments that were generated with the document builder ?automation?
I previously created a document mapping automation that attached a personalized report to each row of data, but it now requires edits. Is there a way to delete the old auto-generated attachments in one go without deleting the other attachments? If not, I'll have around 2 thousand rows to delete attachments from 1 by 1, so…
