Dynamic dropdowns - Waterfall request

This would be such a game-changer feature!

My mind goes wild with all the possible solutions I could develop for clients if I had this available.

2023 = the year of dropdown list improvements? 🙏

Can I make the default values in a field specific to the selection of a previous field?

This would be great. It would be useful if the dropdown list could be referenced from another column instead of a static list within the column that is typed in when setting up the dropdown column. Then the dropdown options could be automatically updated as the referenced column is updated. In Appsheet, you could select difference columns based on the selection in the dropdown.

This would be very valuable to have in a form. We are developing a hiring request form ... and there are many jobs positions and they are organized by department. In the form, we would like the ability to limit the list of available jobs based on which department is selected. Having this waterfall/conditional list would help the user experience as they would have less options to sort thru. It would also help with data integrity as we would know that the job position selected is valid for that department.

Waterfall drop-downs would be so helpful. For example, we have a large list of products. If we were able to select "Fluid Applied" as the project type, it would be ideal if in the products field we then saw only the fluid applied products in the drop-down list.

Would be amazing to have this feature - both Parent/Child relationship in dropdown options but also have the values of those fields be fed from a separate Sheet/Register. One sheet acting as a Contact Register: Company, Contact lists etc and then to use these fields on a permit application form/register.

It appears that a large number of people see the value in having dependent dropdown lists in Smartsheet.

I too would very much like to see this implemented sooner than later. While Smartsheet indeed has some advantages over Excel, the inability to incorporate dependent dropdowns is a huge disappointment.

Is there a solution/upgrade in progress?? This would be an amazing feature to have. I am surprised to have found threads as old as 2018 requesting the same functionality, and yet still no resolve.

Please consider the wishes of the masses... WE NEED DEPENDENT DROPDOWN LISTS🙏🙏🙏

This is list of requests appears to be two different requests.

1. Populating the available values in a dropdown from another sheet. (FYI, this can be accomplished with Bridge. See link below)
2. Dynamically updating the available values in a dropdown according to the value entered into another field.

I am writing in support of #2. I have tons of use cases that this would be valuable for.

ex. We have a service request intake that has fields for building, floors, and rooms. I would like to narrow the next field according to how the previous field was entered. Building 1 might only have 3 floors, so if a use selects Building 1, then only 01, 02, and 03 would be available as options in the Floors field.

Link Mentioned Above: This method is specific to the source being an object array and the target being a dropdown. Updating contact lists require a slightly different process but can be achieved as well.
