Frequently asked questions
Can I keep a dropdown in sync with another list?
Yes. Point the dropdown at your source values and re-run the sync whenever they change, instead of editing the option list by hand.
Will it overwrite my dropdown without warning?
No. You preview the new option list before the change is written.
Why bulk-update dropdowns instead of editing them by hand?
Large dropdowns used across many forms and sheets are tedious and error-prone to edit manually. One reviewable pass keeps them consistent everywhere.
Is there a usage limit?
Previews and dry runs are unlimited and never count. Applying changes (a real write) is capped at 3 bulk runs per account per day while the tool is free, and a single run can span up to 5 sheets. The counter resets daily.
Prefer to do it by hand first?
Step-by-step: edit a Smartsheet dropdown list via Edit Column Properties, what happens to existing cell values, and how to update dropdowns across many sheets at once.
