Copy a Row Automation in Control Center
Hello Everyone,
I am recently started working on the Control Center.
In my blueprint, there is one Automation workflow "Copy Row into Completed Sheet". So the Condition is if the Completed task is checked then the row moved to the Completed sheet.
But when I create a new project using the control center then in this workflow the destination sheet is selected from the blueprint folder, not from the newly created folder, so I have to manually select the sheet which may cause issues in the future.
Any help would be really helpful!
Thank you in Advance!
Thanks,

I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, as far as I know, it's not possible now to have the Destination Sheet change dynamically, but it's an excellent idea!
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

I definitely echo the need for a solution to this as well! We have two status sheets that copy rows to a historical status sheet, and we need to manually update the destination sheets every time a project is stood up, and that is very time consuming and has room for error when standing up 300+ projects in Control Center.

I assume this is still not available? This is definitely something that is highly desired.

I'll answer what I can and shout out to @Brian_Richardson<\/a> for back up. <\/p> #1 Report Filters- To my knowledge there isn't a direct Report Filter update however I wondered if the column was a dropdown list - if so, Bridge can update dropdown lists and if the filter was set to select all it made me wonder if the filter would pick it up new selections. (Datashuttle also updates dropdown lists if this method works)<\/p> #2 I've had problems with a slow sheet erroring out in Bridge. The sheet was massive and Bridge would time-out. Bridge did not help this sheet (it might have been too large for anything to help)<\/p> #3 -I don't have any experience with Control Center, so sorry, I can't answer those questions<\/p> My fav Bridge solutions?<\/p> -Capturing Approver Names in approval workflows<\/p> -Adding rows - same sheet, different sheets, Child rows to Parents, On a weekly cadence, Adding New rows of acquired data to a status update sheet which feeds into a dashboard report<\/p> -Translating Employee Ideas from their native tongue to English<\/p> -Checking FedEx Tracking Status on a sheet's worth of shipments<\/p> I hope this helps<\/p> Kelly<\/p>"},{"commentID":373322,"body":" Hey @Julie Fortney<\/a> !<\/p> @Kelly Moore<\/a> thanks for the shout out :-) but I'm not sure I can help more than what's already been posted. <\/p> @Julie Fortney<\/a> in general Bridge is an API tool. You can setup multi-branched workflows in Bridge with pre-set API calls and utilities. You can also do custom HTTP calls to any API that you have access to in the cloud. So anything you can do with API calls you can do with Bridge. It also, importantly, allows you to run Javascript code using the results of your API calls, and to trigger workflows on changes to Smartsheet content or on any other webhook that you can receive from other tools.<\/p> There's a fair amount of Smartsheet API methods that are prebuilt into Bridge, but not all of them. So if you're looking at the Bridge documentation for Smartsheet<\/a> integrations and not finding what you need, you can also look at the Smartsheet API documentation<\/a> to see if there's something there to help you out. If you find an API method to use that's not already pre-built as an integration, then you can use the Custom HTTP Call step to directly call the API. You just have to provide the Smartsheet API with an API token, which you can assign to yourself in your Personal Settings.<\/p> It looks like your specific questions were answered pretty comprehensively by Kelly and Samuel but here's my 2c:<\/p> At Iron Mountain we use Bridge for a variety of use cases, here's the most effective ones:<\/p> Hope that helps (a little). If you're trying to figure out whether you'll find Bridge useful, my best advice would be to decide how much integration you want to do. That's really what Bridge is for IMHO. You can<\/em> use Bridge to do more advanced workflows in Smartsheet but it can be a little tricky, often it's easier to leverage the prebuilt addons like Data Mesh and Data Shuttle in combination with automations to achieve what you're looking for. That said, Bridge is quite powerful and can certainly take your Smartsheet setup to the next level.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":343,"name":"Add Ons and Integrations","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/apps-and-integrations","allowedDiscussionTypes":["discussion","question"]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":369,"urlcode":"bridge-by-smartsheet","name":"Bridge"}]},{"discussionID":108771,"type":"question","name":"Has Smartsheet improved the Workapps notification functionality?","excerpt":"While looking at a Smartsheet Workapp today, I noticed the text highlighted below.
