Hey everbody!
Is there a way to show the automatically generated number which will be created by the new form, on that form?
I hope I have written that understandable.
Kind regards,
Florian
Hi Florian,
Unfortunately, it isn't possible because Smartsheet creates the automatic number after the form is submitted. A possible workaround that could work but it depends on your specific use case. You could have Smartsheet automatically send out the number afterward with the help of Alerts & Actions.
Would that work for you?
I hope this helps you!

Another proven work-around:

Skip the discussion on Method 1.
This is easiest if your AutoNumber is just a number (displayed) -- ie 003 not AA003. You'll need to convert the AutoNumber to a Number (using VALUE()) and then get the MAX() + 1 for that (as a number) and create the URL as discussed in the post.
Several (major) limitations to this, but many of them can be resolved. Since the URL is dynamic, users can't just click on the link they got last week.

So we`ll think about it.
Thanks a lot for your help guys, appreciate that!
Happy to help!
If you have a business plan, are you able to have free collaborators? Or does every person need a license to edit information in the sheet?
I set up 10 daily automations for my SS to change a cell every hour from 8am to 5pm. I set the automations to be daily with no end. It worked yesterday until 3pm and then stopped. Nothing happened this morning. How can I fix this?
I created a workflow that if something is added to a field in the worksheet a workflow will trigger and send an e-mail to muptiple people that have been added to the workflow. I am trying to find out if there is a LIMIT to how many e-mail addresses you can have, I currently have over 40 and some people are getting this but…
