Hi, Not sure if my previous post worked, but one of the comments from the team at work is that the grid views are messy when it's a whole page of 'pill' shapes, particularly when they're all different widths (based on the text length of each option). Is there the ability to: 1. Shade/colour the entire cell instead of just a pill shape? 2. If not, can the width of the pills be based on the width of the column instead of the text length, so they're clear and a consistent width regardless of the dropdown option selected? 3. And, can white be included as a pill colour so we can have drop-down fields that look like plain text? These would significantly help with clarity when reading grid views. Cheers, Andrew

Hi, I'm super excited about the new date dependency features. I've manually implemented that before with automations. However, limiting the precision to "days" seems arbitrary and limits the functionality to project management. Increasing the precision to minutes or seconds (or whatever the standard is for dates) would vastly improve utility for things like batch scheduling. Cheers, Scott

Button Fields could really use an update to allow for dynamic button labeling. A label could be set to not only Single Line Text, but also support other field types such as Single Select, Link Fields, but also Attachments where an Image could be displayed as a clickable button. Here, we see each button opening a unique URL, however the label is static - locked as the text "Open URL" which is an awful user experience. Why not allow for other fields to be referenced within the Label, exactly how the URL formula works? Part of this issue stems from the URL field itself also being too simplistic, and not supporting text for the referenced URL itself (which then itself could be used by a button field, without the need for an independent Label field).

With almost every table I build, I want to be able to group by year and month chronologically. However, most of the time I have a full date (with the day) on there as well. Hence, almost every table I build I have to create multiple extra columns to pull the year and month (both together and separately) in order to be able to have groups chronologically. This is to see what projects are happening in each month, how many items are sold each year, what tasks need to be done each month, what expenses happened each month, etc etc. And if I do a pretty format for the month and year (January 1, 2023) in one table, I still have to do another column that is YYYY-MM in order to use it as the group if I want it in chronological order, which is then not pretty (2023-1) for the group name. It would be great to be able to have something that is smart enough to give you options on grouping and sorting that is based on your date column’s YYYY-MM or YYYY-MM-DD (whatever you choose) equivalent so that these columns don’t need to be made every time. Even though they can be hidden once they’re set up, it’s a lot of repetition and bloat. Added a couple screenshots for examples, although I’m sure most people know what I’m talking about!

What is the proposed idea/solution? What's existing is that when clicking the + button on a "Link to another record" column, it shows a "search box" and we can find an existing record, but you can only search for the linked record's value. It would be more efficient to be able to find an existing record using its other parameters (maybe the four columns that are shown). In the example image below, if I type "Notes C" or "1335", it should show Item 3. What's currently happening is I should strictly type "3" or "Item 3" to get to that linked record. It's especially inconvenient if it's a lengthy SKU or something like "A Very Long Title Like This and That Vol. 3" when I could use that linked record's other columns to find it. How does it solve user problems? It allows the user to quickly find a linked record through other parameters and makes workflow more efficient. How was this validated? The first four columns on the find field are the linked table's first four columns too, so if the user wants to "customize" the first four columns, they can trigger "Limit record selection to a view" when making that linked record column to use that specific view's first four columns. Who is the target audience? Users who use linked records a lot with multiple useful columns.

What is the proposed idea/solution? In the Date field, would be nice to have more date formats, or the chance to write our own format, including day names, shortened months, invisible years/days, etc. How does is solve the user problems? Helpful for UX, legibility and general aesthetics. Who is the target audience? Anyone who uses dates in creative ways in their bases

What is the proposed idea/solution? Create a field type that automatically populates the "Most Recent Comment" made on the record. How does is solve the user problems? Competitive feature of smartsheet. This also allows me to eliminate clicks to understand the "next actions" from the comments, but I can always go see the full running feed view when needed.

I love using the Single Select (or Multiple Select) fields to add a pop of color to a table, and be able to see things at a glance. I also love how easy it is to change a Single Select field to a Linked Record field, and to automatically create a new table using the data from that field. But I don’t love that all my colors go away when I do this. I gain so much functionality, but lose the ability to see things at a glance. I know I can add a little colored stripe to the side of record based on certain conditions, but it’s not the same as the colorful pills in either Single or Multiple Select fields. What if there was a way to take the conditional coloring from one table, and use that to add color to that record when it appears in another table in a Linked Records field?

I know we can alphabetize all the options in a Multi Select field, but the field itself will display all the entries in the order in which they were selected. That should be an optional toggle, to let it display as it does currently or also alphabetically. When looking at many records at a time, and trying to compare values in a Multi Select field, it makes it very messy and difficult.

Pretty simple really. When grouping records in Views, my suggestion is to implement the option to group records by week, month, and year instead of solely by specific date. For example, if I’m tracking call records from sales calls, we monitor performance on a weekly basis. This feature is already available in things like Charts in Interfaces (and the Chart app), but at-a-glance grouping would be helpful too. Please and thank you!
