Allow to define how many values can be selected in a dropdown column

[amber (Amber from monday.com)]

Hi community!
Dropping in to let you know that we have already started gradually releasing this feature! If you’re one of the lucky users who already has access, I’d love to hear what you think! Which use cases are finally being addressed?
And if you don’t see the feature on your account just yet, hold tight- it’s on the way! Enjoy!!!

Hi @amber ,

Thanks for this update!
I can select single or multiple lables, but can’t see an option to limit the selection to defined number of selections.

Can you please clarify where can I limit the selection number?

Thank you ,
Oz

@amber glad to see this coming! It’s not on my account yet, but I’m looking forward to having this capability.

Thanks for finally implementing this functionality. I do have access to this feature in my account but as of right now when opting for “select multiple labels” I see no way yet to define what number or range of number of labels can be selected. Is that functionality still incoming?

[amber (Amber from monday.com)]

Hi @sschreiner, @hbristol @Ozi @adinap
The feature was originally released with just a single select option. So if you’re still seeing this, hang tight! The full release that allows for specifying the number of labels should be released to all accounts very shortly.
Would be happy to hear your feedback!

Great, will keep an eye out. Thanks for the note @amber

Just stumbled across the feature now rolled out to our account in the last day @amber
Looks great, works great! I like the messaging to the user when they try to go beyond the limit also.

…next Dropdown request, ability to import into Dropdown columns please!

Import into Dropdown Columns

It would be immensely helpful to be able to import from Excel into dropdown columns. While upon first board setup you can import into a text column and then convert it to dropdown, that is not useful for the need to import repeatedly into an existing board. The lack of ability to do so has affected our board design in both CRM and in some of our Work Management boards. In CRM we will want to feed chunks of leads in on an ongoing basis in the future, and thus cannot use the Dropdown column eve…

Thanks!

[sschreiner (Sebastian Schreiner)]

I wasn’t even aware that this is a current limitation. This will directly affect a set of boards we were about to build.

[hbristol (Heather Bristol)]

@sschreiner yes it’s something I’ve had to work around a fair amount. Please go vote for the feature request I linked to above, maybe we can get this additional Dropdown enhancement bumped up the list.
