Updating Dropdown using Smartsheet API
Hello,
I currently have a column with a dropdown list type and I'd like for it to be dynamic. I read some past discussions in the community, but I can't seem to find a clear solution when using the API.
How can I use the API to automatically add to the dropdown when a new record is added? Or is there a way to use the API to pull data from a different source and update the dropdown list automatically?
Thank you,

I hope you're well and safe!
Do you have access to Data Shuttle? It can be used instead of the API.
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Hi Andree, I do not have access to data shuttle currently. We have used Smartsheet API to insert and update rows in Smartsheet, so I need guidance on where in the API documentation I could find to auto update dropdowns.
Thanks,

I've made somthing that can read and update dropdown with python
You should take a look a "Update column" in the documentation
My code need to be trigger outside of smartsheet since I have not worked with webhook yet.
Code look something like this
-----------------------------
#Column_Spec
cs=smartsheet.models.Column({
'title':"columnTitle",
'type':'PICKLIST',
'options':listOption,
'index':<columnIndex>,
'validation': True
})
r=smartsheetClient.Sheets.update_column(sheetid,columnsID,cs)
