Select only one contact of many in a connect boards mirror column

Hello! I have a board called “Companies”, and a board called “Distributors” (for those companies) and a board called “Contacts” (containing contacts for both Companies and Distributors.)

On my Companies board, I indicate one or several Distributors, by using a connect boards column to pull in Contact names. However, Distributors often have several Contacts associated with them, for different brands (for example.)

I don’t want ALL of the Contacts associated with a given Distributor to show up in the mirror column, only the one we need for that particular Company.

Is there any way to - for example - create a dropdown in the mirror column so I can select the Contact I want for that particular instance?

Or is there a better way to organize this?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Bonnie, are you using Enterprise CRM? This is the automation you need to recreate without the connection part if you are.

and turn this one off as well.

Let me know if that doesn’t solve the problem!

Hi, Bruce - No, we’re on the Pro plan. I’m just using the mirror column to pull in the contacts. It would be good to know if there’s an automation I can create to deal with this!
