Selecting only one checkbox

Michelle_Kallam · 07/12/19

Is there a way to make only allow the user to select one checkbox? If they choose one, the others are unchecked? I have a survey with 5 options (1 checkbox for each). If the user selects #1 but then selects #2, I need #1 to uncheck.

Hi Michelle,

Unfortunately, it's not possible at the moment in Smartsheet, but it's a great idea!

Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment.

As a workaround, you could use a third-party integration like Google Forms.

Is that an option? Would that work?

Have a fantastic weekend!

Best,

Use a Dropdown List or the Symbols column type.... especially if you would like the "happy" to "sad" faces (aka pain levels).

Could you use a drop-down column for their choice? Then if you need that answer to correspond to a checkbox on the sheet, you can hide the drop-down column and add a formula to the checkbox columns for each survey answer.

example: =IF([Survey Answer]@row = "Very Happy", 1, 0)
