Adding Attachment Name To PDF

Benjamin O'Leary

Hello,

I have a sheet that, once a submission is submitted via a form, a PDF document with all columns written is generated containing all the information that was submitted.

Is there a way to add a row in the PDF that will list the name of an attached attachment?

Hi @Benjamin O'Leary

I hope you're well and safe!

Not sure I follow. Can you elaborate?

I hope that helps!

Be safe, and have a fantastic weekend!

I have a Smartsheet that allows users to post attachments:

I also have a PDF document setup that will auto-populate a PDF document with the results of each submission to the sheet:

E.g. if someone makes a submission with an EDMS ID of '12345', a PDF will be generated that will show the column next to EDMS ID filled with '12345'. I was wondering if there was a way to take the attachment(s) that a user adds to their submission, and have the attachment title(s) automatically populate next to the Attachment Name field.

Please let me know if you require any further clarification.

Hi @Benjamin O'Leary

No, there currently isn't a way for Smartsheet to read attachment names and automatically pull that into cell data in the row.

Please feel free to submit your feature request to the Product team by creating an Idea Post in the Smartsheet Product Feedback and Ideas topic here in the Community.

Cheers!
