I am having the same problem, however, my trouble is happening with newly added rows in parent sections. It is a construction task list and every project is different. I'm seeing that when I add a new row to bedroom 1, I have to drag fill all formulas across the project.
Also, there a few columns that I need to autofill the same info because we assign to contracts row by row. These are filled to reflect summary info ( =description1) and I can drag fill because it will fill the next line with =description 2. I can't copy paste the 3 together because it does the same thing, so I have to do one by one and it's very annoying.
Hi Fletcher,
First, make sure that the below conditions are met.
If the formula structure is the same above/below the Formula Autofill will add the formula(s) automatically.
Conditions That Trigger Formula Autofill
You’ll see formulas populate automatically when you type in a newly inserted or blank row that is:

I have either the same problem or a similar problem. I have a sheet with several formulas in any given row, but two formulas don't copy while all the others do. I can see no difference between formulas from one column to the next. They meet the criteria above (the row has to, or else the other formulas wouldn't populate, either). I have to keep dragging down to copy rows. Can someone help me troubleshoot this?
Hi @Alan Williams
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or some screenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too, andree@getdone.se)
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

I am also having this issue. It seems the conditions are met (see formula in screenshot 1). This formula is in every cell of the column, but when I add a new column the formula is not copied (see screenshot 2).
Any help is much appreciated.
I am getting a lot of REF errors for my predecessors and I can't figure out why. At first I thought I might have REF for predecessors to predecessors but that's not the case. When I export the file into Excel it shows the IDs in the place where it shows REF in SS. Each time I refresh the file I feel like different values…
I am trying to create a sheet summary, where the field is a formula that relies on a contact card within a column. However, it keeps returning a result of "#NO MATCH". The columns involved are, 1:) Priority (symbol column) for Up, Unchanged, and Down, and 2:) Contact Card column. I am trying to get a sheet summary formula…
Hello, I have a workflow where, when a team member checks a checkbox, Smartsheet automatically sends an email to themselves containing merge fields that are used as a customer email draft. The challenge is that this activity typically happens on a deadline day, and a team member may need to generate 30 or more of these…
