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:
Based on this post:

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.

For our workflow it was just "nice to have" and not mandatory.
So we`ll think about it.
Thanks a lot for your help guys, appreciate that!
Happy to help!
I am trying to replicate a Kata chart in Smartsheet and need help.
I have an automation set up to email certain team members if values change on a sheet. The trigger is set to Daily so that it doesn't send them a bunch of emails every time I add data. What I want to know is, at what time do these usually run? I want to make sure that it is not sending out the email before I have finished…
What is a formula to count the # of tasks that are overdue, based on a date?
