Are You Able to Join Two Columns into a Data Shuttle Dynamic Dropdown?

edited 12/23/24 in Formulas and Functions

Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can help me out with a challenge I'm facing in Smartsheet's Data Shuttle. I've been trying to use expressions to combine two columns into a single dynamic dropdown column in a target sheet, without changing the source sheet. For example, I want to combine Num and Name into a format like "Num -Name," with each row's combined values listed separately in the dropdown.

I've done a lot of research, but I've only found information on how to do this using other workflow actions. I've also tried just testing it using the same methods as the other actions, but I can't seem to get it to work for dynamic dropdowns.

Has anyone had any luck with this? Any tips or information you could share would be amazing. Thanks a lot for your help!
