Background Colors for Attachments & Discussions
I recently submitted a Feature Request and am curious if anyone else would like it as well.
Reason: I am trying to increase feature adoption among my peers. I believe this ability will increase the visibility and awareness of Attachments & Comments.
Request: I would like the ability to change the background color of the Attachments and Comments columns using Conditional Formatting.
Just a simple 1, 0 will do.
1 = there is at least 1 Attachment
0 = there are 0 Attachments
Observation: The background color of Attachments & Comments can change with "Highlight Changes", so the ability already exists in another form.
Conditional FormattingUse Case 1- General Awareness
If Attachments is not blank, then apply this formatting (yellow) to the Attachments column.
Conditional FormattingUse Case 2- Attachment Required
If Column1 is Checked and Attachments is blank then apply this formatting (red) to the Attachments column.

Instead of applying the formula to \"Multiselect Text String\" row, did you tried with \"Multiselect Values\" row?<\/p>

Hi, <\/p>
Add a \"Created By\" column in your sheet and turn on \"Required smartsheet login to access your form\" in your form setting. So that whoever fills out the form, their email id will be automatically captured in \"created by\" column. This will replace your \"Requestor Name\" column. <\/p>
Thank you!<\/p>
