It would be great to be able to create a form dropdown list based on the contacts in a table. Instead of having to scroll though multiples and if the list of contacts changes the dropdown list adjusts as well.

Hi @Kevin7859 ,
Take a look at our Smarter Dropdown List Manager and see what our lovely clients have to say. Reach out if you'd like demo
I would like to make a list of all my organizations open projects on one sheet, then use that list for a "Dropdown List - column" on multiple other sheets so that the user can select the correct project from this list rather than enter it in free-hand (without reference). The "dropdown list" must be updated automatically based on the sheet containing the source list. This is easily achievable in excel via the Data Validation - List menu item. Alternatively, you may want to add "Lists" as a document type so that these lists can be selected on the "column properties" context menu from the user's stored documents.
As always, I am not requesting an idea for a convoluted work-around. It's a simple feature and I hope you consider a quick update to accommodate it. Thanks.
Even i am looking for this feature since last 2 years.
When we create the form, we have to add drop down list manually, and for new data, we have to enter manually again and again, if we can get select dropdown box in sheet it will be easier and fully automated.
Hi, I hope you're well and safe! If you have access to the premium app, Data Shuttle, it can be used to sync to a dropdown list.
Is that an option? I hope that helps! Be safe, and have a fantastic week! Best,Andrée Starå | Workflow Consultant / CEO @ WORK BOLD ✅Did my post(s) help or answer your question or solve your problem?

Recently I was creating an inventory tracker for one of the departments. In the form, they want the ability to track multiple items (distribution/purchase). I've created 10 item drop down fields with the same items in each, so that they can order different items within the same category. Everything works well, but when they want to add/remove an item category from the drop downs, I have to edit all 10 drop downs. Data Shuttle works for one or two drop downs, but can get pretty cumbersome when trying to update several. It would be nice if you could create a single drop down, and create multiple instances of it within a single form. That way if it has to be updated with data shuttle, I'm only creating one set of transactions.
As one of the system admins, it is absurd to me that I cannot view or have access to all of the items created in my organization. We have over 11,000 reports, sheets, and dashboards and I can't see them. I have no visibility to if people are using our plan for their own personal use, or what kind of work is going on unless…
I noticed this the other day and tested Ctrl + M – it does not work. I submit ticket to Smartsheet support – they told me that’s expected behavior because it’s not currently available even though it still shows as keyboard shortcut in the menu🙄 and told me to submit new product idea. Please add this keyboard shortcut to…
Summary of Issue All team members work a standard 7.5‑hour day, but only a portion of that day is allocated for project work (e.g., 25%, 50%, etc.). In Resource Management, however, the system currently interprets allocations as a percentage of the full 7.5 hours, instead of the project‑eligible portion of a person’s day.…
