## The idea is:

Currently there’s no easy way - that is, that doesn’t demand basically a subworkflow - to create a sheet with predefined columns in ‘append: spreadsheet’ node from Google Sheets, so having an option to set the columns that the spreadsheet would come with avoids the need of the workaround such as the one below.

## My use case:

Creating a Sheet on Onboarding of Employees that is sent to an organization that handles financial affairs involving their data.

## I think it would be beneficial to add this because:

As i said, currently a workaround is necessary to make a spreadsheet with predefined headers to be created.
