It would be nice if when a row is created any column with a dropdown list was able to have a default value in the cell until updated. This would help instead of having it just blank until someone updates it (such as a not started value until it is updated).

It would be nice for any type of column.
Would aslo be great to ake a default value from the Sheet summary.
For the moment I am using the Sheet Summary bit it request to use 2 column for creatig a default value.
Example in the attached file.
I tried a workflow to set status to Open if the cell is left blank. It did not kickoff. When working with support, they confirmed that this is not possible:
"The workflow will only change the cell when it recognizes the value of blank after there is some other value that has been removed. "
The point is to catch those rows where the user (me) did not enter the status. Will not be using a form to enter new rows.
So really, just provide an option to set a default setting in the properties for the column when chosing from a dropdown list.
This is actually a daily pain that needs a solution. Very simply, allow a default value to be used for any columns with column Type of have a dropdown (multi or single select), checkbox or symbol.
I know forms can be setup - this is a separate request as I am not using forms in this case. I have also worked hard to get automations setup to do this, only to be told that they would not work.
This should be a very simple request. Please up vote it!
Completely agree with Cathy, crazy that this has been an idea for years and has not been added to the roadmap. Please update!

Dashboard widgets are currently mostly static. I can display counts and charts, but I cannot click into a specific part of a widget to drill into the underlying records. It would be a big usability improvement if widgets supported interactive drill-down. For example: Click a bar segment (or stacked segment) to open the…
Dear Smartsheet, You really need to add an administrator-controlled option to manage the license banner display for free users. The banner not being able to be removed by the administrators presupposes that the administrator wants the free users to have licenses. One of the main reasons we love Smartsheet is the ability to…
