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:
-
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.
Here is a link to more detail: https://support.monday.com/hc/en-us/articles/360001017529-The-Auto-Number-Column -
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.
- 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.
By implementing one of these methods, you can ensure that each form response in monday.com has a unique and descriptive item name, improving organization and clarity.
