I want to filter my tasks by comments. So I want to see all tasks which contain the snippet "asdfasdf" in the comments. I am not able to make the filter work. I tried it with Comment -> contains -> asdfasdf and Comment is equal to asdfasdf. Unfortunately both does not work...
Hi,
Just to be clear, are you referring to the:
If it is option 1, then what you attempted with Comment -> contains -> asdfasdf is correct and will work.
If it is option 2, then you're out of luck because this system Comments column cannot be filtered.
Kind regards,
Chris McKay
P.S. Dear Smartsheet,
Seriously, who in your Product Team thought that naming these columns the same thing by default was a good idea?
Alright now I see...Doesn't make much sense but now I know how it works.
Thank you so much!
My pleasure. I agree that it doesn't make much sense.
One more of the things I run into then that has the "dont make sense" stamp on it.
Is there a reason for not being able to filter on this column in reports?
Hello,
@Jen Lange has the solution:

It would be very useful to create a filter which would show issues in which I (the current user,) was @mentioned in the comments for the issue.
IMHO:
The "latest comment" field should always be there, like a system column. At the moment it only shows if you choose to add it. This is a missed opportunity, and would allow filtering.
Having a set of pre-set admin controlled tags to add would also be good and add another dimension of information to Smartsheet. Seems like an easy win.
Hi there, I was wondering if there was a way to hide milestones on a current project plan, for example to use in a second year of a project but the milestone is not visible until it is activated, or shown in the project plan? Many thanks!

The other one is the overall rating. The data is gathered from 2 reports. At the moment every month I have to edit the chart and update area to include…
I am the owner of the Workspace, Sheet, Report, Dynamic View, and the Dashboard. Today I made a change to the dynamic view, saved it, and now I cannot see it on the dashboard. I receive a message that I need to reach out to the "owner" (which is me). How can I fix this situation so I can see the dynamic view on the…
