Auto Locking a Dropdown in a Form

We are trying to create a form or update request (not sure which would be best) that allows external users to select a date and time from a dropdown list and when one person has selected that time it then doesn't allow another person to select that time and disables it as an option. Is this possible with some sort of auto locking of a dropdown option when it has already been selected?

    Hello Andy,

    Thank you for asking about this. At this time, Smartsheet does not support this functionality; however, I have added a vote for this to our Enhancement Request list for our product team to consider for future versions of the software.

    We typically communicate about new or improved features once they've been released. Depending on the nature of the changes, we announce through email, in-product messaging, or via announcements on the Smartsheet Community(https://community.smartsheet.com)website.

    At any time, you can see a list of past updates in our Release Notes(//www.santa-greenland.com/release-notes)on the Smartsheet website.

    If you'd like to help us further improve Smartsheet with ideas on how Smartsheet could be better, or have other users vote for this functionality, please contact us here:https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form?EQBCT=739aa75f30ca43a8a22eb53e4da7d409

    If possible provide as detailed information as possible about your feature enhancement request, including how you use Smartsheet, and how your request would save you time.

    Please let me know if you have further questions on this.

    Kind Regards,

    Alison

If you open the attachments using the icon on the right and you have appropriate level of rights to do this, you can download all. I don't know if there is a size or quantity limit.<\/p>
