Calendar App: Custom Category List - Missing Options
I am currently using the Calendar App, where the source is a report. I am grouping the data by a category that exists on all sheets. However, one or more drop down options are missing in the "Custom Category List Order. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong?
The current outlier is "Tech Refresh." It does not show up in the sorting under settings.
Thank you!

Hi Julia,
我已经能够复制你什么port when modifying the Column properties in the source sheet to the Report that contains more dropdown options to allow multiple values. This caused that only the drodpdown values that were present in single select dropdown columns were listed under the "Custom Category" list. If you believe this might be what's happening to you, you'll need to make sure that all source Columnsonly allow single values in the dropdown list.
If you wish for the Calendar app to start supporting multi-select dropdowns as well, when you have a moment, please let our Product team know about your feedback byfilling in this form, here.Thank you!
If this doesn't seem to align with the behavior that you are experiencing, I would recommend opening a ticket with our Support team viathis form.
I hope that this can be of help!
Cheers!

Hey @Julie Fortney<\/a> <\/p> I'll answer what I can and shout out to @Brian_Richardson<\/a> for back up. <\/p> #1 Report Filters- To my knowledge there isn't a direct Report Filter update however I wondered if the column was a dropdown list - if so, Bridge can update dropdown lists and if the filter was set to select all it made me wonder if the filter would pick it up new selections. (Datashuttle also updates dropdown lists if this method works)<\/p> #2 I've had problems with a slow sheet erroring out in Bridge. The sheet was massive and Bridge would time-out. Bridge did not help this sheet (it might have been too large for anything to help)<\/p> #3 -I don't have any experience with Control Center, so sorry, I can't answer those questions<\/p> My fav Bridge solutions?<\/p> -Capturing Approver Names in approval workflows<\/p> -Adding rows - same sheet, different sheets, Child rows to Parents, On a weekly cadence, Adding New rows of acquired data to a status update sheet which feeds into a dashboard report<\/p> -Translating Employee Ideas from their native tongue to English<\/p> -Checking FedEx Tracking Status on a sheet's worth of shipments<\/p> I hope this helps<\/p> Kelly<\/p>"},{"commentID":373322,"body":" Hey @Julie Fortney<\/a> !<\/p> @Kelly Moore<\/a> thanks for the shout out :-) but I'm not sure I can help more than what's already been posted. <\/p> @Julie Fortney<\/a> in general Bridge is an API tool. You can setup multi-branched workflows in Bridge with pre-set API calls and utilities. You can also do custom HTTP calls to any API that you have access to in the cloud. So anything you can do with API calls you can do with Bridge. It also, importantly, allows you to run Javascript code using the results of your API calls, and to trigger workflows on changes to Smartsheet content or on any other webhook that you can receive from other tools.<\/p> There's a fair amount of Smartsheet API methods that are prebuilt into Bridge, but not all of them. So if you're looking at the Bridge documentation for Smartsheet<\/a> integrations and not finding what you need, you can also look at the Smartsheet API documentation<\/a> to see if there's something there to help you out. If you find an API method to use that's not already pre-built as an integration, then you can use the Custom HTTP Call step to directly call the API. You just have to provide the Smartsheet API with an API token, which you can assign to yourself in your Personal Settings.<\/p> It looks like your specific questions were answered pretty comprehensively by Kelly and Samuel but here's my 2c:<\/p> At Iron Mountain we use Bridge for a variety of use cases, here's the most effective ones:<\/p> Hope that helps (a little). If you're trying to figure out whether you'll find Bridge useful, my best advice would be to decide how much integration you want to do. That's really what Bridge is for IMHO. You can<\/em> use Bridge to do more advanced workflows in Smartsheet but it can be a little tricky, often it's easier to leverage the prebuilt addons like Data Mesh and Data Shuttle in combination with automations to achieve what you're looking for. That said, Bridge is quite powerful and can certainly take your Smartsheet setup to the next level.<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":343,"name":"Add Ons and Integrations","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/apps-and-integrations","allowedDiscussionTypes":["discussion","question"]},"reactions":[{"tagID":3,"urlcode":"Promote","name":"Promote","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":5,"count":0},{"tagID":5,"urlcode":"Insightful","name":"Insightful","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":11,"urlcode":"Up","name":"Vote Up","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0},{"tagID":13,"urlcode":"Awesome","name":"Awesome","class":"Positive","hasReacted":false,"reactionValue":1,"count":0}],"tags":[{"tagID":369,"urlcode":"bridge-by-smartsheet","name":"Bridge"}]},{"discussionID":108771,"type":"question","name":"Has Smartsheet improved the Workapps notification functionality?","excerpt":"While looking at a Smartsheet Workapp today, I noticed the text highlighted below.
