Conditional Dropdowns functionality, not available yet?

Raul Cabrera

Hello everyone,

I’ve been working extensively with Smartsheet and noticed a significant limitation that has been discussed for years but still hasn’t been addressed: conditional dropdowns.

Here’s the scenario I’m struggling with:

• In Column A, the user selects an option (e.g., "Option 1").
• Based on that selection, the dropdown options in Column B (or another column, like Column Y) should change dynamically depending what user choose in Column A.

Currently, this functionality doesn’t exist natively in Smartsheet, which is surprising for a product that’s been on the market for so long and has such a large user base requesting it.

Has anyone found a workaround or creative solution to implement this kind of functionality? Or does anyone know if Smartsheet plans to address this in the near future?

I’d love to hear your thoughts and solutions!

Here are a couple suggestions.

1. SmartForms
2. Appsheet
3. 3rd party form builder that puts data into Smartsheet.

Here are some demos of solutions #1 and #2
