Enumerated select list populated from column values

[conscientia]

Is there a way to build an enumerated selection list for a field from column values in a spreadsheet?

Yes. Please use valid_if constraint. It is generally expected that the column values are in a single column.

Drop-down from Valid_If - AppSheet Help

So the general valid_if syntax for an enum list through lookup values in a column in a table will be 

Table_Name[Column_Name]

where [Column_Name] contains enum values to be shown as options in the enum column.

Yes, thank you!  Had to make the "base type" enum as well to have it show up as a drop down. 

Thanks again!
