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.

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.

So we`ll think about it.
Thanks a lot for your help guys, appreciate that!
Happy to help!
Is it possible to auto-populate an email domain in a field where people are asked to enter their email address? For example, I would like users to only have to type their name, without needing to enter anything after the “@” symbol, to reduce the chance of personal email addresses being entered.

Good afternoon! My company works closely with another ambulance service, Company B. Both companies have a Smartsheet Enterprise plan. I have created a workspace that I need members of Company B to edit. Do I need to make them members on my account if they are already members on their account? Or do I just need to add their…
