Hi everyone,
Im trying to copy A Description Column Values to Item Values with no success.
Any formula/automation I can use to do so?
Thanks 
Hi @Reut.h 
You can do this with ‘Column Magic: Copy’ in the app Marketplace.
This recipe is one of a few different trigger options but will copy a text column (or other type) and replace the item name with it:
Hope it helps!

Hi Reut,
It can’t be done without a 3rd party app, like the Advanced Formula Booster. Formulas in monday.com use the formula column and there is no automation that will modify the name of an item.
On the other hand, the Advanced Formula Booster can target any column (including the item name). In this case, you would simply write the following formula:
{Name} = {Column}
and create an automation to run the formula (typically you would create the automation “Every time {Column} changes, run the formula”. Very simple.

This worked!
Thanks!!
Thanks, I used the Peta’s solution
Wow… So once again something that should seemingly be simply / out of box is another pay for it add on.
Monday gets you so tantalizingly close but then like Lucy, just pulls that ball away each time.
Which product (CRM/Work Management, etc) and level (Pro/Enterprise) do you have? You can do this with the Workflow Center which is part of Enterprise.
Hi Desiree, work management and enterprise. Which workflow do i want? i’ve looked and looked.
You can pick whatever trigger works for your workflow. The action you’ll want to pick is ‘Change Column Value’ and the ‘column’ will be the item name. Then you can have it change to the data from another column(s).
Amazing! Workflow. Not automate. If i look at the right tool i get what i need. thanks Desiree!
