Adding a Group into a Drop Down List ?

Jeremy Parker · 02/29/24

Hello - is it possible to use a group already established in SmartSheet to fill/populate a drop list for a data point?

Example - we have a SS group created for 40 project managers, I would like to type the name of the group in the drop down and the 40 names populate in the drop down list without having to type all 40 names into the drop down list.........is that possible?

Thank You,

Hi @Jeremy Parker

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

I recently developed a solution for a client where the Dropdown lists are kept updated using the premium app Data Shuttle.

Is that an option?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
