Could you consider adding a new field type, "Error Message" and "Warning Message". Use Case We often need to validate data on a record to provide feedback to the user if certain conditions are not met. The way I deal with this is to create a formula field and write out an error message if certain validations are not correct. I then have to hide this field in a section and hide the section unless the field has a value. The downside of this is that we have sections appearing that take up page real-estate and it's not obvious that there is an error as the text looks like anything else on the page. Proposed Solution create a new field type that can display a message (ideally one of many potential messages) based on criteria. The approach that you use to apply conditional visibility should work, with the ability to use a combination of groups. The OUTPUT of this field should be in RED TEXT with an Error Icon at the start, this will make it standout. IDEALLY the field should only display in record mode or dashboards when an error condition has been identified. Example: This Error field would be able to display one of 3 messages depending on which criteria are assessed. Message 1 "Please Supply an email address and Contact Name to enable the email send automation" When: [Email] is Empty AND [Status] is "Send Email" AND [Contact] is Empty Message 2 "Please Supply an email address to enable the email send automation" When: [Email] is Empty AND [Status] is "Send Email" Message 3 "Please Supply a Contact Name to enable the email send automation" When: [Contact] is Empty AND [Status] is "Send Email" The same would be required for Warning Messages unless you can define a field that can be set as Warning or Error. Warning messages could have Orange text and a Warning Icon.

Ability to switch between dark and light mode is getting more common. It would be great to have that switch in SmartSuite so that people can comfortably work with the product in the nighttime without straining their eyes. Linking the theme to system preferences or even time of the day would be even better.

The whole design of SmartSuite has a ungainly look. There are too many boxes, withing boxes, withing boxes. The right design improves user interface and the ability to view information. Monday.com really nailed this aspect of their service. An example is the linked fields. There are so many boxes withing boxes that the actual information- the writing in the pill/box/ table view, is too small and feels lost.

It would be awesome to add conditional tabs so when we do certain action, only then that tab is activated, it would be great to create a record with systemic workflow. also, action button should have link to automation instead of script.

I would be very helpful to be able to select (display) only selected tools (for example find or sort, but not filter) in toolbar row.

It would be great to be able to filter selected schemas in data shema when using "Show links to other solutions". And even more, to be able to delete relation ships or mark solution as a backup 🙏 so its not active and is not shown in related table forms.

When creating charts and graphs, you are unable to change the colour of the font. This would be helpful to be able to change so that those with visual difficulties can better read the data.

Smartsuite lets you increase the height of record rows, but strangely enough, the height of the column header row is fixed. What's the point of a column header if you can't read the text? If you have a lot of columns, you'll want to keep the column width small, but still be able to find your way around the table and easily read the column headings. If you have to click on all the columns to find the one you're looking for, you're wasting a lot of time... We'd therefore need to increase the line height of column headers Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

Avoid Displaying the Swim-lanes when it has 0 records. For example, we have 67 Assignees and only 2 have tasks. We need to scroll for 65 swim-lanes to reach and find the records we need.

It would be great to have the same view for lookups as we have for linked records. For example, to see all tasks linked to deliverables that are connected to projects, so I could also see all tasks within a project.
