They used to be easier to find but are not anymore.

Thanks Tim and Ali,

I'll post an update when this is released in this thread, and also have the Community team post on the right side panel of Community under Announcements.

Thank you!

(and not too much longer now  I promise)

Good Morning Kara, is this still in development? How long do you think it will be before it gets rolled out?

Hi Dan,

If you are able to watch our Live ENGAGE 2019 Keynote tomorrow, Oct.1, from 9-10:30am PDT, I believe there will be an update on this. 

Here is a link where you can watch:

Smartsheet Community,

Here at Smartsheet, we use Smartsheet for pretty much everything. We are acutely aware (mostly) of the pain points and missing functionality that you, our valued Community members, discuss here as well.

The inability to select multiple options from a dropdown column has been one of the most agonizing, irritating, functional gaps when using Smartsheet.

Over the past 7 months, our team of development engineers, plus ux experts, quality assurance engineers, and product, used Smartsheet to coordinate impeccable timing with almost every other internal team at Smartsheet, including mobile, automation, forms, and reporting, to deliver some long-awaited news.

I’m very very pleased to announce a brand new column, available to everyone, today.

In the column options, you'll find Dropdown (Multi Select). 

Thank you for your patience, user stories, and feedback.
