Dynamic Contact from another sheet

Jon Barto

Is it possible to update all sheets in a given workspace with an updated dropdown contact list from another sheet.

Say we have one sheet that lists sub contractors.

And we have all of our construction schedules in a workspace. (each construction schedule is its own sheet) We now have a new subcontractor to pick from or we remove a sub contractor. So in the construction schedule there is a column called sub contractor. It is a contact list.

So now we have a new subcontractor that can be picked from. We need the sub contractor list in all the construction schedules to update have the new contact updated list. We need to process to be automatic once it is set up. So when a new subcontractor is added to the master list sheet, it updates all current construction schedules in workspace with column called subcontractor.

Is this possible.?

Thanks

Hi @Jon Barto

It is possible but not without some kind of add-on. A google search will bring up things like Bridge by Smartsheet, Zapier, and DDupdate. All are great tools and depending on your budget and in-house skill set, one may be better than the other. We've used DDupdate with great success.

I hope that point you in the right direction.
