Hi @susy,

When you @mention someone in the comments on a row, it only lists the sheet's primary column in the notification. There isn't a way to change that, but you could consider updating what's in your primary column.

Let's say you have a list of new hires and you want to @mention someone in the comments to discuss something related to their onboarding. If your primary column is just their Employee #, the comment isn't going to provide much context:

So what you could do is move the Employee # to a new (non-primary) column, and make the primary column a formula to pull both the name and number together. That way the notification would give a lot more context:

Would that help?

Thanks for the detail, I can probably move my data set needed for the notification into the primary column and see if this solves
