Script in Python to download all PDF attachments in a Sheet
Hi Guys, Created a basic script to download all PDFs from a sheet. Use case: I use Document Builder to create documents from field inspections. However, we need to store these in sharepoint for redundancy. This script basically pulls all "PDFs" so you can then migrate them where you need to. I don't want to pay an…

Dashboard Rich Text Widget re-sizing after saving
Just started having an issue with the rich text widget. It re-sizes itself after saving, cutting off several lines of text. There are NO hard returns at the end of the text.

Dashboard Rich Text Widget Excessive Vertical Scroll Bar

Rich Text Widget Scroll Bar Change
Hello, all! There seems to be a change in how a dashboard Rich Text widget is formatting. I first noticed this on April 22, 2025.

Issue with Numbering/Lettering in Indented Text
I have a Smartsheet form. Under Form Title, I'm editing its Description field. I'm trying to get numbering/lettering to restart at the initial value (e.g., "a") when indented, but it keeps doing this (see "3c" & "3d" in the image below, which are supposed to be "3a" & "3b", respectively). How do I correct this?
Power Automate and Smartsheet
I want to use Power Automate to send a professionally formatted email with Smartsheet data embedded in it. For example, Power Automate would receive the person's name, email, and pre-filled form's link text (instead of a long URL) and compose/send an email. I know Zapier can do this, but our team doesn't want to pay for…

UPPERCASE and LOWERCASE
It would be ideal to have a drop down select/ format where you can highlight/ select column/ row to be UPPERCASE or LOWERCASE etc. Rather than the function where you need to enter text (which only applies to that instance) the whole is formatted properly (as in Google Docs/ Word/ Excel).
