Dropdown Lists by Individual Cell rather than by Column
Hi all, I was just wondering if there is something I am missing here. Is there any way to create dropdown options by cell rather than for the whole column? I am trying to create a Creative Brief and there are a lot of fields that I want to be able to control the options people can choose from, rather than allow free text. Maybe there is an alternative option that I haven't thought of.

There is currently no way to do this, but I have had a case where I wanted users to enter Department, Group, or Team depending on the type of row so I grouped the dropdown list options to look more intuitive.
For Example - your dropdown list options can look like this:
-- DEPARTMENT
DeptA
DeptB
-- GROUP
GroupA
GroupB
-- TEAM
TeamA
TeamB
etc.

Thank you, that's a really helpful alternative - although, I hope they can look at adding this functionality in the future!
