Default Drop Down Value

Sarah123

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).

Hi @Sarah123

I hope you're well and safe!

Excellent idea!

Here's a possible workaround or workarounds

• Add a Workflow that sets the default value when the row is created or similar.

Would that work/help?

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Best,

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.
