Grid view Contact List is showing all previous users
Hi, We have a column set as a Contact List. When I click the properties of the column, the Contact List only shows the current users (correct). However, if I click in a cell and scroll through the list, it now shows all users, past and present. Users that are not in the active list of licenses (free or paid). When I click the Select Contacts icon in the bottom left corner of the drop-down list, I am presented with an option of All Contacts, or our company user list. I cannot find anywhere that I can set the default list to be the company user list. Please guide me. Thanks.

The options that show in a contact column cell come from multiple places:
- Any preferred contact values that you’ve set up in the Column Properties window.
- All collaborators shared to the sheet.
- Any other contacts or email addresses that have been assigned to other rows in the sheet.
- People in your personal Smartsheet contacts list.
- If you're a part of a Business or Enterprise account, other members of that plan.
Here's more information: Manage which contacts appear when you type in a cell
If you don't want to see the other options as you scroll through the cell list, you can restrict the column properties to show only your specific values.
