Dynamic View - Dropdown Lists

Emmy Anderson

I have certain single and multiple select list columns that do not have the "restrict to dropdown values only" checked on the source sheet but in Dynamic View we are unable to add in our own values if they don't exist in the dropdown. This has been extremely frustrating especially when trying to capture new values and contacts that are not standard options and therefore not part of the dropdown. Am I missing something in the seetings within Dynamic View?

Hi @Emmy Anderson

You are not missing anything. This is how DV works with dropdowns unfortunately. My work around in the past is to create an other option in the drop down, user chooses save. Then have logic built for a text field that appears so the user can input the values not present in dropdown.

Hope this helps

I have a script that you can use that will apply the drop downs dynamically. Let me know!
