Need a Way to Concatenate Multiple Fields in a Form to Make the Project Title

Our project names are made up of several pieces of information from different custom fields. Right now the only way to get the title correct is to enter the information once in each field for the custom fields and then again together in the in the field for the title. An example of the format of out project titles is "account number+Customer+Product Name+Product Type"

Thank you for your feedback Greg Leff! Can I ask you what is the process of creating a project in your account? Because this can be possible if a project is created upon submitting a request form where answers to questions are mapped to the project description.

Lisa We use a form to generate a project from a blue print.

Greg Leff In that case, would it be possible for you to add questions like "account number", "customer", "Product Name" and "Product Type" in the request form and map the answers to the title?

I think I run into the same issue here.

The form only allows you to fill in a custom field OR add it to the title. You can't add the entry to the title and also have it show up in the custom field.

It would be great if you could choose both.

For example, if I have a custom field dropdown for account type, I can add this to the title and have it fill my custom field.

The work around is to ask the person to enter this twice. Or create separate BluePrints with the custom field already filled in for each selection and attach it to each selection.

In my case I would need to create and manage eight-10 different request forms for the same tasks.

I'd like to see this added too - we have a customer name and a project code field, it would be great to concatenate these into titles
