Conditional Dropdown Options

mvarga

Is it possible to change dropdown options based on another cell contents?

Hi @mvarga

I hope you're well and safe!

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

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Premium App, Data Shuttle
• Smartsheet API
• 3rd-party solution

Is that an option?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

@mvarga

Happy to help!

Another option could be to use multiple columns and the Form Logic in a Form.

Would that work/help?

mvarga

That would work and something I considered. I was trying to minimize the amount of similar columns that would have empty data. It may be the cleanest for the user to do it this way.

mvarga

so I could have 5 columns with the respective departments in it. I could have a 6th column that pulls data since each entry will only have 1 value. This would ensure reporting purposes. This could work, right?

Yes, If I understand you correctly, it will work.
