Hi,
Is there a way to select multiple items in a dropdown list? Here is the scenario i am trying to solve for. A product roadmap project may can be related to multiple products. I currently have a dropdown list column for products and each row is project. Currently i can only select one product per project. ideally i would be able to select 1 to N products per project.
Thanks,
Jon
Jon,
it's not (yet) possible, the only way to select multiple items in a row is to have as many columns with the same dropdown list as many answers you accept - it would look really crazy.
However, it has already been requested as an enhancement:

Hope it will be a feature soon...

Hi Jon--as Atus mentioned, selecting multiple items from a dropdown list is not currently available is Smartsheet but is a feature that is on our enhancement request list and I've added your vote. Thanks for your input!
Is there a date when this feature will be released?
Please add my vote for this feature, too. Anxiously looking forward to it.
Hi all,
Good news! It's coming!
Hi everyone,
I'm pleased to announce that the Multi Select Dropdown project is in development.
The functionality Robert Meisch mentioned above (dynamically populate a drop down list from a selected range in a sheet?) is in early stages of research and we're hoping to have that out this year.
Thank you for the passion, and thanks for the patience.
Kara
Hope that helps!
Have a fantastic weekend!
