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

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.
