Change the default project name via Request Form to custom field (Project name)

Dear Wrike community, 


We are using a request form to kick-off a project application process which results in a project. The format of the default project name consists of numbers and the space name which is not very helpful, when you have 25+ applications are in the system. Therefore, I am seeking an automation to change the default project name to a custom field in the request form: Project Name.

As we are using the public link, the automation should be as flexible as possible. 

Thank you for your support.

Andrea Schmalle - Could you map the Project Name question to the title?

We do what Mike suggested above.  We include a question within the form such as 'Request title' with helper text 'Please provide a short title for your request' and link this to the title. Or if we would like the requester to use a certain naming convention for the request/project to match up with our other projects we provide this prompt in the helper text.

Heres a follow up question. No problems using the Request form to create the project Name. Three different request questions make up our Project Name:  Requester Name - Request Type - Course Title.  It works out great except for one thing: The Project Name (Requester Name - Request Type - Course Title) is generated from the order of the questions in the Request form. We'd prefer a different order:  Request Type - Course Title - Requester Name. Is there any way this can be done without re-ordering questions?  Thanks!

Thanks for the quick response Pietro.  Kind of figured that would be the case, but figured I'd at least ask...as my boss will ask if I asked lol.  TY!
