Append Item names within a group (so CLIENT NAME is before each item)

HI all,
I use my own project templates for new projects. This consists of a group, and in that group has about 20 items.

When we get a new project I duplicate the group
This duplicates all items, and all the comments and instructions in each item
This works well

But:
I’m left with 20 items I need to rename manually each time

Before appending, a task name will look like this:
| SP 1 - Project / Onboarding

After manually appending each task name will look like this
Client Name Here | SP 1 - Project / Onboarding

Does anyone know of an app to speed up the re-naming / appending of item titles within a group?

The group title will also be the Client Name, so can I append items by using the group name?

Thanks for any help Monday masters!

Hey @KevG ,

You can do it with Column Magic (Text Builder).

This will let you set it up so that you can stick the client name in front and then map the item name in place after it like this:

Search for Column Magic in the app marketplace if you haven’t already installed it, and then you can use the recipes as needed - there are paid accounts for large volumes of actions but your use case sounds like you can use the free account no worries.

Hope that helps!

I’ve got several apps, including this one. I couldn’t see how to do it until now.

That is fantastic Emma thank you very much!!!

Hi Emma
Unfortunately that hasn’t worked.
It’s overwritten all the items names

In the recipe as per your screen shot I’ve used the word Appended (stupidly thinking that was a recipe instruction!!) and tried it without that word, but all it’s done is overwrite each items name?
