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!

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!

Is it possible that a workflow that MOVES rows to another sheet too basically do a CUT/PASTE (like in Excel), and then you are left with BLANK rows on your original sheet? I cannot think of any other LOGICAL reason why this would happen. The users enter the data from an Intake Form, it gets placed onto this sheet. They do…
Hi. I have a sheet where I am sorting dates by ascending order. But the sorting functionality doesn't seem to be working. Instead of bringing all items with date values to the top of the sheeting and sorting them in ascending order, it leaves a gap. Is it a result of the "Next Review Due" column containing a column formula…
