Can Form Submission messages contain dynamic content?
We have a Form submission, where submitters need to know the ID generated. Is it an option to put {{Row ID}} into the message to share that info with them immediately on screen? Things are configured to send an e-mail with that info and various other items summarizing what they entered, but the question came up about this option.

I hope you're well and safe!
Unfortunately, it's not possible now, but it's an excellent idea!
Here's a possible workaround or workarounds
- Have the form load a dashboard with the ID after submission
- Have the form as part of a dashboard and have it reload the dashboard after submission to show the ID
Would any of those options work/help?
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!

Hey @Jake Gustafson
As a workaround, you can build automation (when a row is created), to send an alert to Created By that includes the Row ID (and any other relevant info)

@Kelly Moore thanks. That is what I have in place and it's not enough 😔 The users are asking for quicker/instant indication of the ID and 2-3 other pieces that will need to be hand written on something.
@Andrée Starå you've done it again. Having the recently created records display on a Report in a Dashboard that loads upon submitting the entry form is what I've done. This should be a good starting point to get some fresh sets of user eyes on it to guide it where they need/want it.

Are there any updates on this as an improvement to Smartsheet? I need to have a form provide a unique ID for project numbers and while I can use the dashboard idea from Jake, looking to see if Smartsheet has implemented any better options. Thank you!
