Is there a way to add a contact group to the dropdown list in a contact list column?
Not unless your contact group has its own email address as is the case in many google products. Smartsheets itself currently only allows one email per contact column. Groups is not currently an option from within smartsheets.
But it should be. Please submit an Enhancement Request:

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

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?
Hi, "Fields marked with an asterisk (*) are required." is the very first line in the body of every form I create. I don't remember seeing it before (unless you missed filling out a required field; then you would see the message). Is there a way to turn it off or change it? None of my forms are in English so the message is…
I have a sheet that I pull into a report. The report I then want to use to make a stacked bar chart and put into a dashboard if I can. The columns I am trying to make into a stacked chart are: Lead, project and phase. The issue is that there are several leads and I need the stacked bar chart to show in different colors for…
I have a dynamic view setup for a dashboard that has NO restrictions And on the Sharing tab, I have a Group that I created as the additional share access to the view But the individuals in the Group still cannot see the data from the dashboard. Am I missing something? Because when I share the view to them individually…
