Dynamic/Automatic Dropdowns.
Hello,
I am running a major sheet that is the core to the operational running of a Machinery Hire business.
All machines have an asset number/description which are currently all manually entered as a drop down so that each machine can be selected in forms and reports etc.
I need a simple way to be able to update a master list of machines to be included in this dropdown rather than having to manually adjust it everywhere each time a machine is added or sold out of the fleet.
Would really appreciate any ideas on how I can achieve this.
Thankyou in advance.

I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible natively, but it's an excellent idea!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- I recently developed a solution for a client where the Dropdown lists are kept updated using the premium app, Data Shuttle.
- Another option would be using the Smartsheet API.
Is that an option?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!
