    Hi @LBird,

    To fix this issue, make your column a "Contact List" column. This will allow users to enter multiple email addresses and SmartSheet will validate that the user enters correctly formatted email addresses.

    This will also fix the notification issue. Once the emails are added into a Contact List column, you will be able to select these emails to use in a notification alert. If the emails are not in a Contact List, then you will not be able to find the emails.

    Hope this helps!

  • Thank you so much! That worked perfectly. I tried the contact list before and it gave me a drop-down list so I thought that was wrong.
