Dropdown lists that auto update
I would like to propose the idea of a Dropdown list that updates when custom values are added. So when the column field setting "Limit to list values only" is not checked and users can add custom values, the newly added value gets added to the list of dropdown options. This would make it easier for others to select this…

My dataset from the report is currently around 80,000. Below is my current setup. Is there different way that I could go about setting this up to capture…

Forms - Ability to Lock fields
First of all, I use Smartsheet Gov, which I know differs (substantially) from Smartsheet Commercial, as I previously worked with that for about 3 years at my previous company. First Question, for forms, is there a way to LOCK a field? We have a field that comes up auto populated with the TDL #, based on the site where the…

Drop down lists in forms
When creating a new form, it would be nice if you could exclude certain options from the drop down menu. Often we have multiple options within a drop down that would never be selected when the user is first creating the new entry.

How to populate a Smartsheet form dropdown
Hello! When using a Smartsheet form that is based off of a sheet, I want to be able to select an option from a drop down in the form, that currently exists in the sheet. For example: I want all of Column A (Event Names), to populate into a form dropdown. That way I can use the form to edit event details. Happy to provide…

Forms data entry options
Hi all! I'm wondering if it is possible to create a drop down in Forms that will connect to a specific column. Like, if someone selects Project A from the drop down menu and enters 4 as the number of hours worked on Project A, that 4 would populate a cell under the column for Project A. I have folks who work on multiple…

Dynamic contact list using reference sheets and Data Shuttle
I have several sheets (>20) that utilize a contact field for which I need to update the options whenever there are changes to our roster. I have difficult contact fields depending on someone's role in the department. My solution, based on suggestions here, is using a regular dropdown as my "contact" field that users…

Dynamic drop down Data Shuttle not working
Tried both options of Data Shuttle workflows (upload and offload), but neither is working. I've followed the help article available, but it's not working. Getting stuck at the "map column" section, where it always says that column is not mapped. Any help is much appreciated.

Dropdowns with multiple levels filters
Please, Do introduce dropdowns whose options are filtered by previous options! This is a massive feature that prevents most of my projects being fully moved to Smartsheet! It would be a great addition that would change the game for lots of us!

Column Type Reverts to Dropdown List
I have a sheet, that no matter how many times I change a Column Type to Check Box, it reverts back to Dropdown list. What could be the source of the issue? I can't find any automations or Data Shuttle items that would even reference this sheet. This column is a formula that is referencing a check box on another sheet, so…

Alphabetized Filter Dropdowns
It would be helpful if the "is one of" dropdowns in filters were alphabetized instead of listed in the order of most used. For dropdowns that have many different options, it is hard for team members to find the option they need in a filter when it isn't alphabetized. Example of Today Red (52) Green (43) Yellow (28) Blue…

The column drop-down options would need to be a the list of project codes from another sheet. The drop-down options would need to update continually as new project codes are added to the…

I want someone to choose from a drop down in Column A, then based on their choice a particular person receives an email. Column A is set for multiple…

Dropdown populated from another Smartsheet
Is it possible to populate a dropdown in one Smartsheet from the data in another Smartsheet and have that dropdown auto update once the data is updated in the other Smartsheet? Example: Smartsheet A has data pulled in from another source with a column labeled Full name. Smartsheet B has a column labeled Full name and I…

Showing Pics or Icons for Drop Down Options
This may be a stretch, but I vaguely remember attending a SmartSheet Webinar where the guest customer speaker had drop downs that were actually pictures vs. words. When asked to explain how to create a drop down like that, he showed how he created a "letter type" or "font"(?) that was the picture and then was able to use…
