Can you use Groups in Contact list column type?

Ameya Athalye

We have different groups created under user management, for example, email team, marketing team etc. I wanted to know if they can be used inside a column with contact list column type for a project? If yes, how? If not, what exactly is the use of creating these groups apart from workspace, sheet sharing?

Hi @ameyaa

Unfortunately, it's not possible to use them in contact columns, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

The use except for what you already mentioned is for sharing overall, sending messages, and it makes it easier to add/remove members of groups and the sharing associated with the groups.

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

@ameyaa Did you get a response to your request?

Hi @Jahdiel Johnson, Not really. I know as of now, they're not allowing that, so I submitted a feature request.

@Andrée Starå is there any way to vote on an idea that has been submitted as this would help me. Especially if it wa a quick way to add all contacts to an assign column.

I have also submitted Enhancement Request to Smartsheet for this case.

I submitted a request as well. Seems like a big miss.

This would be a big win to have for assigning tasks to different teams and alerting them.
