Please tell Smartsheet to improve Contact column contact population/handling!
I could go on about it, but there are some basic “table-stakes” sorts of features that need to be incorporated into how column contact lists are handled within Smartsheet. First and foremost, please, for the 37th time, allow us to drag a group in and create items contacts within a column contact list.
ALSO, please make it so that we can COPY a column with Contacts loaded and use it again in the same sheet!
Neither should be a premium feature or require an API buildup! This would have saved mehoursso far this year, and could easily save me more! ...Do the same thing for Forms please!
All that are with me, please submit this as a development request! We need a loud chorus!
Please submit an Enhancement Request when you have a moment

There is no direct way to do this. Adding a checkbox helper column with something similar to this and then formatting based on the checkbox is the simplest way. You can even hide the extra column, as there is no reason for it to be visible.<\/p>
