Drop Down List
Q: Is it possible to assign a drop-down list to a single cell and not the entire column?

Hi Rob,
Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment because the column type is for the whole column, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment
There might be a possible workaround, can you describe your use case?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

You're more than welcome!
If you can describe your use case there might be a workaround.
Here is a workaround I've created that gives you the possibility to use lists of information and choose from that list inside a sheet (doesn't work with mobile, only desktop) (maybe could work now with iOS13, haven't tested it yet)
I'm utilizing cell-linking for this workaround. The main sheet is linked to the dropdown/list sheet.
Please see the attached link/screenshot for more information.
Here's a link with a better explanation on how it's done.
Let me know if you have any questions or if I can help you with anything else!
Could that work?
