Can the selections from a dropdown multi-select question in a form be used to auto create columns?

Adelynn

If I have a question in a project intake form that allows for individuals to multi-select all of the rooms that will be a part of a project can I then in turn use those selections to automatically create columns in the worksheet that corresponds to the rooms that were selected?

Thank you for taking the time and any recommendations!

Hi @Adelynn

I hope you're well and safe!

Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• It might be possible with the Smartsheet API
• We could develop a solution that copies columns from another sheet

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,
