Have unique Item ID be the default Item Name on Forms?

I’d like the option for the Item name on each Form response to be the unique Item ID. As of now, the Item name for every new response is “Incoming form answer” which is not helpful at all, and then I have a separate column for Item ID. Can the unique item ID just be the item name?

Hello @elizabeth.jaeger In monday.com, form submissions default to the item name “Incoming form answer,” which can be uninformative. To set the item name to a unique identifier, consider the following approaches:

  1. Auto Number Column: Add the Auto Number Column to your board to generate a unique number for each item. While this doesn’t replace the item name, it provides a unique identifier alongside it.

  2. AutoID Column App: This third-party app allows you to generate unique IDs and set them as the item name. It offers customization options, including prefixes and numbering sequences.

  1. Form Configuration: When designing your form, include a required field that respondents must fill out, which will serve as the item name. This ensures each submission has a meaningful and unique identifier.
