Is there a way to add a contact group to the dropdown list in a contact list column?
Not unless your contact group has its own email address as is the case in many google products. Smartsheets itself currently only allows one email per contact column. Groups is not currently an option from within smartsheets.

New to Smartsheets and struggling with this same challenge. Is there a solution to this now that did not appear to exist a couple years ago when this conversation took place?
Have any of you created a Smartsheet that would show the savings for a project by the month? In other words, if I saved $1200 annually and the project ended in say March, then the savings would go $120 per month, Mar 2025-Feb 2026. I have done it on Excel sheets manually, but I think there should be a way to do it with…
Hello team! Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday season. I am trying to set up an automation that will send an email reminder one time when Next Update Date = 60 days, then another automation at 30d, etc. The key is I only want it to send the reminder one time when Next Update threshold is reached. Is this possible?…
Has anyone found a workaround for sharing Smartsheet reports externally without giving access to internal data? I currently have to download the data and transfer it onto excel to create a pivot table for our client and I want to find an easier way to do so. I also already create a dashboard for our client, but I wanted…
