Background Colors for Attachments & Discussions

I recently submitted a Feature Request and am curious if anyone else would like it as well.

Reason: I am trying to increase feature adoption among my peers. I believe this ability will increase the visibility and awareness of Attachments & Comments.

Request: I would like the ability to change the background color of the Attachments and Comments columns using Conditional Formatting.

Just a simple 1, 0 will do.

1 = there is at least 1 Attachment

0 = there are 0 Attachments

Observation: The background color of Attachments & Comments can change with "Highlight Changes", so the ability already exists in another form.

Conditional FormattingUse Case 1- General Awareness

If Attachments is not blank, then apply this formatting (yellow) to the Attachments column.

Conditional FormattingUse Case 2- Attachment Required

If Column1 is Checked and Attachments is blank then apply this formatting (red) to the Attachments column.

I think this should work for the red.<\/p>

Let me know if this is the direction you are looking for and I can write the rest of the colors as well.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","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":[{"tagID":254,"urlcode":"Formulas","name":"Formulas"}]}],"initialPaging":{"nextURL":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/api\/v2\/discussions?page=2&includeChildCategories=1&type%5B0%5D=Question&excludeHiddenCategories=1&siteSectionID=0&sort=-hot&limit=3&expand%5B0%5D=all&expand%5B1%5D=-body&expand%5B2%5D=insertUser&expand%5B3%5D=lastUser&status=accepted","prevURL":null,"currentPage":1,"total":10000,"limit":3},"title":"Trending Posts","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
