Added my enhancement request for this option. Would resolve a lot of issues when selecting contacts on forms and sheets, including maintenance of the lists.
New to Smartsheets and struggling with this same challenge. Is there a solution to this now that did not appear to exist a couple years ago when this conversation took place?
Hello, I have created several sheets and reports to be able to live track my progress in a teacher training program. I used a Metric widget to pull the remaining hours from my sheet into a dashboard which works beautifully in the desktop version, but when I look at the mobile version, the formatting is all messed up. I've…
I want to restrict the duplicate entries in the sheet based on some column value conditions, I can be able to highlight the column but is there any direct method for avoiding duplicates.
I am trying to replicate a Kata chart in Smartsheet and need help.
