Is there a way to change a filename automatically?

Hi Everyone,

I have been looking to change the filenames for uploads automatically using the Smartsheet cell. I am not sure if I would have to code this myself using the API or if there was an automatic way to do this within Smartsheets!

Thanks!

@ColeyHatt There is no automatic way to do this. However, I suggest you reach out to @Ryan Sides . He may be able to help you with a solution.

@Darren Mullen thanks!

@ColeyHatt like Darren mentioned, there's no way to do this within Smartsheet, but I created a little app (through the API) that renames your attachment to a column formula in your sheet. It captures the version control as well so you can see the original file name and the new file name in SS.

Please let me know if you'd like to see it in action. Ryan@WorkflowCreative.com

@IBD Adelaide Hi! We closed the app, but we can custom build a version for you if you're interested in investing in it.
