Dynamic View: Contact List Must be Restricted
Hi All,
Is there a reason why the Contact List on the Dynamic View must be restricted from putting names on the dropdown? If it is not restricted, it will only show the Users within your plan.
This is counter-intuitive because one of the main purposes of using dynamic view is to share editing permission for external parties without accessing the main sheet.
It also affects our process because whenever we add a new user, we have to add them manually on the contact list dropdown.
Is there any workaround for this? (We can't use Data Shuttle to automatically update contact list to save money 😂)

Hello @KyleCuera!
Couple of things - Adding names to the dropdown is a function done at the column level. People in Dynamic View are only allowed to make edits at the row level.
There are dropdown update alternatives that cost MUCH less than Data Shuttle. Contact @Darren Mullen on his website www.smartsheetguru.com for more info on that.
What is your goal of updating this drop down?
