Tables in PDF generation
When generating an application summary, tables don't format properly. There's no way to control table column size. When you have more than 8 columns, longer field names get compressed to two characters. This makes no sense because these are the longer ones. For example, if you have columns with numbers and then a comments field, you can't increase the width of the comments field to make it readable.
4 votesWhen generating PDFs from web‑based application data, tables are rendered within a fixed page width and rely on automatic column scaling. When a table contains a large number of columns (such as 8 or more), the available horizontal space is divided across all columns, which can cause headers and values, particularly those with longer content, to become compressed.
While it is technically possible to influence table and column widths through more advanced configuration using custom CSS, this approach is fragile and difficult to maintain. PDF rendering engines often interpret CSS inconsistently, and small changes to data, labels, or page layout can easily break the formatting. As a result, this custom configuration solution is typically not reliable enough for dynamic application data and may introduce ongoing maintenance challenges, making it impractical for many use cases.
Additionally, from a design and usability perspective, long‑form or narrative content (such as comments) is not…

The ability to batch update Notes
It is possible to batch update for status, institutions, associated contacts (etc), but it is not possible to do it on Notes.
Is there something I am overlooking? :)

Allow edits to standard message template
We have received user feedback that the standard system message sent when a user is tagged in a Note is difficult to read. Users want italics or quotes to visually distinguish the Note content from the rest of the message. Users would also like the URL to be a clickable link so they can navigate to the Note directly from their email. If SmartSimple cannot update the standard system message, provide the ability to configure a custom template here (without creating a new workflow, which is what Support suggested).

Show field number in batch update feature for custom/standard fields
We have multiple grant application types. When I go to batch update a custom field (the caption of which may exist in several different applications with differing selection options) the batch update feature only shows the caption for the custom field, rather than a field ID, making it difficult to differentiate which field is correct if multiple fields share the same caption.

Can you expand upon why you have duplicate fields with the same name/caption?

We would like to propose a feature that enables bulk (batch) translation of applicant-entered content in custom fields using SmartSimple’s existing in-tool translation functionality. Currently, translations must be performed manually field by field by clicking the translation button, selecting a target language, and choosing the destination field for storing the translated content. We are not referring to translating field captions/labels, but rather the actual responses submitted by applicants.
1 voteIt sounds like you are currently using the Enable Field Translation Service to translate applicant‑entered content and store the translated text in separate custom fields by manually clicking the Translate button on each field.
If your goal is to translate multiple applicant‑entered fields in a single action, you may want to consider using a workflow with the task type Translate Field Values. This approach may allow you to execute the translations in batch. You could then expose this workflow through a single button on the application form, enabling on‑demand translation of all relevant fields without needing to translate each field individually.
While this is not a native bulk‑translate action within the SmartField interface itself, it might effectively achieve the desired outcome with less manual effort. I suggest escalating to Support if you’d like assistance with configuring the workflow or validating the setup.
If you are still interested in a native…

I suggest that default limit when you add a new upload field should be set to 10mb.
