Contact List - how to reuse in other sheet/forms

gwson

We have a master directory sheet with a contact list column (emails/names). How do we populate other sheets with the same contact list column so it can be used in Forms entries. It is currently not possible to copy/paste.

Hi @gwson

There currently isn't a way to copy/paste columns across sheets, as you've found. Please add your vote to this Idea Post to let the Product team know of your request, the top-voted posts are reviewed monthly.

Thank you!
