Reference sheet name in formula.

Options

It would be nice to be able to put something such as @sheetname or {{Sheet Name}} or something to call specifically to the sheet name for a formula. This would make it easy for sheets to be duplicated across vendors/products without having to change anything but the name of the sheet itself.

It sounds like there are 2 scenarios: one around referencing the name of the sheet in automated notifications, the other around using the sheet name in formulas. While we don't have plans to incorporate these at this time, we will take each scenario into consideration as we evolve both formulas and notifications. Please continue to comment on this thread with any additional relevant details. Thanks!

    I voted this up as well in order to get the sheet name automatically included in the workflow message. This shows up in the message if we use the notification coming from Smartsheet, but if we customize the message to come from our organization, that information no longer shows in the message and there is no way to get it back.

    I'm trying to build automation to request updates from assignees. Getting 2 emails with subjects of "Project update needed" without any context will lead to confusion and accidentally updating the wrong sheet, specifically since the update form also doesnt show any context. A message subject like "{{Sheet Name}} update needed" would be incredibly helpful
