Hey team - I am looking to "drag down" drop down cells like on Excel or Google sheets. How can I achieve this? Copy and pasting is too tedious. Thanks

Currently, Clay doesn't have a direct "drag down" functionality like Excel or Google Sheets. However, there are two alternative approaches you can use: 1. Write to Other Table Feature: If you have a list of items, you can use the "Write to Other Table" function to map items into rows in another table automatically. 2. Import from Spreadsheet: For larger datasets, you can: • Prepare your data in Google Sheets with the desired dropdown values • Download it as a CSV file • Create a new table in Clay by selecting "Import from CSV" • Upload your file to populate the data If you need to frequently update this data, you can also set up an automated system using Google Sheets webhooks to send data directly to Clay.
