I am trying to use the Kanban view to allow a team to see a task with sub task checklists. Is there a way to auto assign the sub tasks by who is assigned to the parent task?
Darin
Hi Darin,
There currently isn't a way to automatically assign subtasks based on the assignment of the parent task. When you have a moment, please submit a Product Enhancement Request for this using the form under Quick links on the right of the community site.
Although the process is manual, one way that you can speed up the assignments of subtasks is by temporarily switching to the Grid view and drag-filling the assigned person down the cells on the child rows. More information on drag-fill is available in our help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/518318-using-copy-paste#dragfill
Thank you Shaine. This was all I could come up with as well. We are trying to replace using Trello with SmartSheet and the checklist feature is so handy I have been trying to find a way of replicating it.
Hi, Mr Greenwood

Hello—
You'll need to add a Status field to your sheet and pick the best type of field for your situation. You might start with a Dropdown list field, where you manually enter types of statuses for people to select from. More information on how to add fields to your cards can be found in our help center: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/2449494-card-view-creating-editing-and-sharing-cards
I am currently setting up an automation for people to get notified through their email, when they are prompted. But is there a way that they can reply in the email of a comment that will then go to the specific sheet. This way they do not have access to the sheet, but can just comment through email with updates?
Is there a way to revert to the old dashboard look and feel. The new dashboards do not look good at all. There is no way of knowing if there are additional items in the widgets until you scroll over one to learn there is more to it since the vertical bar doesn't show. We have hundreds of dashboards and they will all need…
When i try to send or print the timeline view instead of showing the progression bars like they do on the screen it only send the data entered and not a graph type view to print. Is there a way to do this. I am using a mac platform if that helps.
