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:

I agree - it should be! I can import a contact group and name it but I can't load that same group into the contact column - are you kidding? Seems like an easy win...

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?
Howdy, I am working on developing a several dashboards for our team, and for whatever reason the widgets I place are multiplying. I have copied/pasted some, but other I have just added I am ending up with dashboards that look like this: When originally I only had the top four items. It has happened on several different…
I am a construction project manager and built sheets that include actual costs for individual tasks, departments and overall project. I update the costs cells as invoices come in by manually calculating then entering in new amount. Ex: Plumbing: week 1 $300, week 2 $250, week 3 $150 = $700. I enter $700 in cell. I'm…
I have multiple items that each have their own statuses and that roll up to "workstreams" or swimlanes. On the dashboard, I would like to show the progress of the items by swimlane without breaking it out into separate widgets for each. This would ideally be a stacked bar where each bar represented the Items and was broken…
