The Topic is closed, but the solution is still not there. Any ideas for a workaround since monday.com does seem to be interessted in a solution?

Hey Phillipp,
Thank you for flagging this. I’d be happy to raise it with our automations team internally to see if this is a recipe we are considering developing.
At this stage, I’d recommend looking into our API or third party solution to achieve this - I apologise for the set back here 
I will keep you updated on any information shared by our team!
Thank you for your patience Philipp!
I’ve received insight from our product team that we aim to head in this direction and address better customisation of subitems in automations through our Workflows feature - this is currently in testing, but we are aiming to have it released by the start of Q2. Subitems support should be a key feature in this release! Stay tuned for further updates and thanks for your patience

Hey @prmwe!
We developed an app called subitem automations that’s can solves this case. When you add a subitem it adds the name of the parent item before the subitem’s name. Here’s how it works →
We’re also working on adding a few more options like adding the item’s name at the end of the subitem’s name etc.
You can find it in the monday.com marketplace in the platform or here - monday.com: Apps Marketplace
Hope that helps!
Hello Bianca,
I am also interested in this feature. Is it already released ? If not, do you know when it should be released ?
Thanks in advance

Excellent works great thank you for doing something that should be a core feature in monday
Hi Fantasy Media Team,
Thanks you for your reply but I already saw your App and in my case, I would like to stick to Monday’s core features.
@LADK no problem. We’re here to help if anything changes!
Also Looking for an update on this. Imperative to the workflows we are trying to build

Hi @Julietteb - I don’t suppose you have an update on this feature at all? Looks like it was in testing and due to have been released. We’re building out a workflow at the moment, but if this won’t be released we’ll probably stop here. Thanks for your help!
what’s your reason for not using third-party apps?
Heya, No update other than what is above. Monday is incapable of this action natively. I ended up using the subitem automations app listed above. My reason for not using 3rd party apps? Cost. If you have to do anything at scale you will incur a monthly or annual fee. I was forced to bite the bullet and pay it. Hopefully monday implements this automations in app soon.
