My name is showing up in Contact drop down - How do I remove

Dan Tanner

Hi everyone,

I've created a Smartsheet for a colleague. There are several contact list columns which I only want to have one option, but my name is listed as a second which I want removed. Is this possible?

Thank you,

Dan Tanner

OK Update.

I'm a bit lazy to update my original question AGAIN, but this is indeed happening on columns where I have multiple selections as well.

For some reason, when I restrict the ability to add multiple users to a column, my name shows up, but when I allow multiple users to be selected, my name does NOT show up. I had someone else test this and the same thing happens to them.

Very strange... but I have found my answer. Thanks all!

That doesn't seem to make sense. Could you share a screenshot with us?

Hi Michael, I've updated my question. I can still provide screen shots if needed.

Hi @Dan Tanner

I hope you're well and safe!

If I'm not mistaken, I think you'll always see yourself, but they won't.

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic week!

Best,

Hmm I am seeing that also. Perhaps it just always shows the current user as an option? I'm not sure. I'll upvote your question.
