Hi,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

There are different workarounds.

You maybe could use a contact column that allows for multiple selections. There are also third-party tools like Google Forms or similar that could work. It depends on your specific use case.

Hope that helps!

Have a fantastic week!

Best,

It is possible in a Contact type column.

Hi,

If you're looking to assign multiple users to a task, you can do so by checking the box! To find this, you'll right-click on a column header > "Edit Column Properties" > ensure the column is a "Contact List" type > check the "Allow Multiple Contacts per Cell" checkbox you'll see there.

Here's some further information: https://help.smartsheet.com/articles/518335-assigning-people-to-a-task

I hope this is helpful!

I have my Smartsheet set to generate a document when a form is filled out. The document is a fillable PDF and when the document generates not all of the answers populate on the generated PDF.
