Typing "C" in a dropdown used to select "Complete" instantly — recent change broke this keyboard shortcut behavior
The recent change to Grid View dropdown filtering now shows all values containing a typed letter, rather than prioritizing values that start with that letter. This breaks a fast keyboard-driven data entry workflow many users rely on. Requested behavior: Show "starts with" matches first (in original dropdown order) Then…

Legacy Dropdown Functionality Option
Good afternoon, Recently there was a change that made searching a dropdown by typing inside of it switch from an exact match method where typing S would only show entries that begin with S to a search within method where typing S would show all results with the letter S in them. I can see how this would be beneficial in…

Decimals added in drop down value from form
Hi, I have a column that can only be a drop down value. Unfortunately this value, project numbers, has a mix of both decimal and non-decimal values. For example, project 356 could be the main project, but has ancillary projects: 356.1, 356.2, ect. What I'm seeing is that in my project ID column Smartsheet has started…

Contact DropDown value increase from 50
There currently isn't a way to show more than 50 values in the scrollable list from the cell, but if you type in text it will automatically filter your values to show ones that match the letters you type (including ones that weren't initially shown in the first 50). It would be great if this 50 limit could be increased.

Table View Dropdown Sheet Link is Dropping Zeros
I want to use a list of account numbers in one sheet for a dropdown in another sheet using Table View. When I select the sheet and column in the dropdown menu, it shows the correct column but is dropping zeros. I have provided a screenshot of the reference column and then what appears in the drop down. Any ideas?

Update Dropdown List
Is there a way to automatically update my dropdown list for a form if I have a new item added? I have a New Order Entry form. I have a dropdown list of customers, but if it is a new customer, there is a checkbox to allow more fields to open up to enter that information. If that information is added, it gets copied to a…

When will the drop-down properties include 'Values from Another Sheet'
I understand that in the non-Government version of Smartsheet, there is an option to populate a drop-down list column with values pulled from another sheet. Does anyone know if/when this feature will be available in the .gov (Government) version of Smartsheet? If so, will the drop-down list dynamically update as the source…

Dropdowns Formatted as something other than Text/Number
With dropdowns only being able to be formatted as text/number this often necessitates the creation of extra formulas, automations or data shuttles, just to get the data back into the original format. It would be incredible to be able to use a dynamic dropdown of contacts or dates directly. With the future introduction of…

Dynamic View does not "honor" the drop down selections
I have a Dynamic View built off of a sheet, which has - say 200 names as potential contacts to select from. I have confirmed that in the intake form, and in the sheet itself, the choices are selectable. However, in Dynamic View, the names selecting seem to be selecting from a master list of users, and not just the list of…

Table View linked Dropdowns
Still looking for documentation, but I am curious about the limitations with the dropdown linking in Table View. Does a person need to have access to the dropdown source sheet in order for the dropdowns to populate on the Table sheet?

Can you make a dropdown option dependent upon another drop down? Parent / child
Hi, I am trying to setup 2 drop downs in a grid sheet. The user will select from the first dropdown (parent) A, B, C and based upon what they select i only want to show the corresponding options in the second dropdown (child). So for A show 1, 2, or 3 For B show 4, 5, or 6 For C show 7, 8, or 9 . Using a form is not an…

Sorting Dropdown Columns
I feel like at some point, sorting a dropdown column ignored the column properties. This was nice because I could add and remove options as needed, but when I sorted my rows based on this column, they would sort properly. Now when sorting a dropdown column, it is based on the column properties. Now we have to manually sort…

Feedback Needed on Status Rollup Solution
Hi all, I have a bunch of underlying sheets that have the exact same setup due to a template and it has a status field with a drop-down of about half a dozen different options that go sequential order from not started to complete and verified as complete from leadership. We also have hierarchy so there is level 0, 1 and 2…

Dropdown Question
Is it possible for dropdowns to filter by value? For example, my dropdown options are: Solar Battery, Winter Battery, PV Panels, PV Interconnections. If I type into a cell that uses this dropdown and enter “Battery,” none of the battery options appear. But if I type “PV,” then both “PV Panels” and “PV Interconnections”…

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…

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.
