Showing the dropdown list in the child row only
Hi,
I would like to know if there's a way to show the dropdown list only in the child rows or to show a default value (from the dropdown list) in the parent row.
Thanks,
Kamil

I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now to only have the list available on the child level, but it's an excellent idea!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- You could add the default value manually to the parent rows and lock the rows
- You could have a Workflow add the default value to the parent rows, and if somebody changes it to something else, it could add the default again.
Would that work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!
Best,

I think you are overcomplicating it. Try this instead:<\/p>
=IF([Status]@row = \"Closed\", \"sunny\", IF([Risk Score]@row <= 25, \"partly sunny\", IF([Risk Score]@row <= 50, \"cloudy\", IF([Risk Score]@row <= 90, \"rainy\", \"stormy\"))))<\/p>

It also looks like some of your quotes are slanted and others are straight up and down. The slanted ones are called \"Smart Quotes\" which (ironically enough) are not recognized as valid characters in Smartsheet formulas. You will need to either retype them here in the Community (which I did above already), directly in Smartsheet, or in a text editor such as Notepad (not Word).<\/p>"}]}},"status":{"statusID":3,"name":"Accepted","state":"closed","recordType":"discussion","recordSubType":"question"},"bookmarked":false,"unread":false,"category":{"categoryID":322,"name":"Formulas and Functions","url":"https:\/\/community.smartsheet.com\/categories\/formulas-and-functions","allowedDiscussionTypes":[]},"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":254,"urlcode":"Formulas","name":"Formulas"}]}],"title":"Trending in Formulas and Functions ","subtitle":null,"description":null,"noCheckboxes":true,"containerOptions":[],"discussionOptions":[]}">
