Is there a way to create a folder in an attachments tab? We have versions of image files we want to see but would like to be able to create a folder for 'old photos' or something like that within the attachments tab to help sort/seg the attachments.

    Hi John,

    There currently isn't a way to create folders in the attachments tab. When you have a moment, submit a Product Enhancement Request using the form under Quick links on the right of the Community site to let our Product team know you'd like to have this functionality in a future version of Smartsheet.

    There was a feature request added in 2016 for this - which received 100% positive comments - wonder why it wasn't created.. I searched for it (because I kind-of need it) and found these threads - a the moment I run a separate file system as I can have up to 150 files over 7 folders associated with each 'line' it would be way too messy in smartsheet..

    Agreed. This would be a very helpful feature.

    Hi there, I'm following up on this comment regarding the ability to create subfolders under attachments. Has there been any progress on this request?

I understand. Unfortunately, there is no other option that I see. One thing to make it easier for you to add the name is to have a helper column in the source sheet with a formula to identify duplicates. If there is a record with no duplicate (i.e., a new name added), you can get notified through a workflow and use that to add the name to your metric sheet.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":321,"name":"Smartsheet Basics","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/smartsheet-basics%2B","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"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":[]},{"discussionID":106975,"type":"question","name":"Case sensitivity when using data mesh","excerpt":"I set up a Data Mesh that is working quite well.

The problem is with a misplaced parenthesis. That zero at the end is technically part of the INDEX function, but you want it as part of the MATCH function to denote an exact match.<\/p>
