Can I auto assign multiple users in a form?!

I have a form that auto assigns when a new record is created. The sheet allows multiple contacts to be assigned - however, I can only select 1 in the "default" value.... :(

    Have you enabled the "Allow multiple contacts per cell" option?

    You would need to know what the delimiter is that Smartsheet uses when separating out contacts. Otherwise even enabling multiple contacts per cell won't work.

     

    There may be a workaround though. Can you explain your process in more detail?

     

    You say "Default value". Does the person submitting the form change this at times? If so, do they need to be able to enter multiple emails? Is it necessary to use emails, or would it work if you entered "John Doe", and his email was populated by a formula on the sheet?

    Have you added all of the contact names under Values in the Contact Column in the sheet?
