Can I gray out options within a menu dropdown on a form when certain criteria are met?
Hi!
I would like to gray out options within a menu dropdown on my form when certain criteria are met. For example, I will have a dropdown menu dates available. When one date is chosen 4 times, that date needs to be grayed out because we have met our max for that date. Can I do this on a form?
Thank you!
Thu

Hi @Thu Nghiem
I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds (that can update the dropdown option after submission)
- Smartsheet API
- Premium App, Data Shuttle
Is that an option?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic week!
Best,

Another option is to have a Dashboard with the form on one side and the available dates on the other.
Would that work/help?

Thanks, Andree!
Is there a link to a video on SmartSheet API or Premium App, Data Shuffle so I can learn more about how it works?
Your third suggestion seems like it would work too. I'll have to try it. If I can show all the available dates on a calendar, I think that would work nicely.
Have a great week!

Excellent!
Happy to help!
Here's more information.
- The third option is something I've used in multiple of my client solutions.
