Looking for a solution to override/update a Sub-Item name based on either a column change or when it’s created. Having to manually override (copy) is time consuming for the team and I can’t seem to find an automation or workflow that will allow for this.
EDIT to Update: Using Workflows allowed me to accomplish what I needed.
Hey @AlichiaS
You can do this at the item level with Column Magic (Text Builder), but I can’t see any recipe that will cater to subitems.
Might be worth searching in the app marketplace, there may be something you can work with.
Why do the team need to re-name your subitems?
Hi Ali,
This can be quite easily done with a 3rd-party app called the Advanced Formula Booster.
Here is a demo that changes the name of the sub-item automatically after creation and triggered by a column change. I used dates for this, but it could be anything.
For this demo, I created 2 simple formulas.
The first one assigns today’s date to the name of the sub-item and is triggered upon creation of the sub-item.
The second one assigns the Date column’s date to the name and is triggered upon the date being changed:
Here are the 2 automations that are required to automate the process:
The Advanced Formula Booster can do things that are a lot more advanced, but in this case, it would be as simple as this.
Hope it helps.
