Bulk Replicate Format Settings in Smartsheet - Faster Setup
Quickly copy formats to many columns at once
- •Use SSFeatures to copy one conditional format and replicate it to multiple columns in seconds, so your sheet stays consistent without manual edits.
- •Open the cloning menu, choose "Clone Rule for Columns," select target columns, and SSFeatures will create identical rules for each column automatically.
- •Save hours each week on repeat tasks.
I'm going to show you how to clone and apply a conditional format for multiple columns in Smartsheet. First, download SSFeatures. Open your sheet in Grid view. Click the conditional formats button in the toolbar. Click the button next to the conditional format that you want to clone. Click \"Clone Rule for Columns\". Select the columns that you want to clone this conditional format for. Click \"OK\". SSFeatures will clone that conditional format and then configure it so that it works for each of the columns that you selected. This saves you so much time. You don't have to manually create hundreds of conditional formats anymore.
Use Cases
Standardized Status Tracking - When you want all status columns to turn green for 'Yes,' red for 'No,' or yellow for 'Maybe,' you can create one rule and clone it across every column instantly.
Large Sheet Management - For sheets with many repeating fields, clone conditional formats to keep formatting uniform without manually setting up dozens of rules.
Reducing Errors - By cloning rules instead of creating them one by one, you minimize the risk of mistakes or inconsistencies across columns.
Frequently Asked Questions
You create a conditional format rule for one column, click the arrow button to open the cloning menu, select 'Clone Rule for Columns,' and choose your target columns. SSFeatures then applies the same rule across all selected columns.
Yes. Cloning only works for rules tied to a single column. Rules that depend on conditions in other columns cannot be cloned because they don’t translate consistently across multiple columns.

"We wouldn't love Smartsheet nearly as much without SSFeature's PDF Generator!! Our business depends on printed Smartsheet reports. SSFeatures has allowed us to successfully continue scaling on Smartsheets without printing workarounds. Our team members that rely on our reports are way happier ever since we started using the PDF Generator. It's great to see there are 3rd parties willing to fill critical gaps in Smartsheet."
Ari Diamond

"SSFeatures has been a game-changer for our Smartsheet workflows! It’s super easy to use and adds powerful functionality that makes automation and reporting so much more efficient. The developer is incredibly responsive and provides top-notch customer support, making sure everything runs smoothly. It has saved us a ton of time and eliminated a lot of manual work. If you’re looking to get more out of Smartsheet, I highly recommend giving SSFeatures a try!"

So grateful to SSFeatures for the Auto-Sort function that has dramatically improved our experience with DataShuttle > Update Dropdowns feature so they are always alphabetized.

"I love that someone added features that Smartsheet seems to be unable or unwilling to add."
Ryan Ballew
Program Manager at Verizon
"PHENOMINAL app! A no brainer purchase for any Smartsheet super-user. Auto-sorting a sheet, printing or exporting a grouped/summarized report, SEARCHING FOR COLUMNS BY NAME! All in one packaged app that's controlled within Smartsheet. Amazing. Highly, highly, highly recommend."
Kayla Sweeney
Smartsheet Solutions Consultant at Better Work Week
"All the SS Features are great but for us the PDF Generator was a huge game changer, a large percentage of our work depends on printed reports and the support of PDF generation for smartsheet reports while keeping the grouping & summaries was a must have."
