Please tell Smartsheet to improve Contact column contact population/handling!

Seth Morth

I could go on about it, but there are some basic “table-stakes” sorts of features that need to be incorporated into how column contact lists are handled within Smartsheet. First and foremost, please, for the 37th time, allow us to drag a group in and create items contacts within a column contact list.

ALSO, please make it so that we can COPY a column with Contacts loaded and use it again in the same sheet!

Neither should be a premium feature or require an API buildup! This would have saved me hours so far this year, and could easily save me more! ...Do the same thing for Forms please!

All that are with me, please submit this as a development request! We need a loud chorus!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

Hi @Seth Morth

I hope you're well and safe!

Great ideas! That would be a great addition to Smartsheet features.

Please submit this as a Product Feedback or Idea (If it hasn't been added already) when you have a moment. (one for each idea)

We recently updated the Community and created a new area where you can create Idea posts to submit your ideas and feedback to the Product team more clearly than in the previous feedback form. This allows other members to vote on your idea! Adding a comment to a discussion thread in other Community categories won't be reviewed by the Product team, but this Product Feedback category will be reviewed monthly. (You can, of course, still fill out the feedback form linked above as well).

I hope that helps!

Be safe and have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Andrée Starå | Workflow Consultant / CEO @ WORK BOLD
