Hey Scott,

There are a number of options available. On another day I’d make a list… Just contact me directly and we will get it done.

Hello @jscottsmith!

You could use our API to retrieve the information from those columns, concatenate the values on your end and then make another request to change the items’ names.

{
  boards(ids: 11223344) {
    items {
      name
      column_values(ids: "text") {
        text
      }
    }
  }
}

mutation {
  change_simple_column_value(board_id: 11223344, item_id: 12345678, column_id: "name", value: "Your concatenated value") {
    id
  }
}

Could this be a possibility for you?

If you have further questions, you can contact me at appsupport@monday.com

Cheers,

I don’t know anything about Mondays API. Where would I find out more about how to do this?

Scott

Hey @jscottsmith!

You can find all the documentation here!

You would need a query to retrieve the values and another one to populate the name of the items with the new string (as the examples I sent earlier).

You can also send us an email to appsupport@monday.com and we can go deeper into this if you want 🙂

Cheers,

The easiest way is to make the modification with integromat

I have Integromat but haven’t figured out how to put it all together. Care to walk me through it?

Hi @jscottsmith

The first time it’s not easy with integromat, afterwards it’s essential

Objective :

2nd module :

To make a test on a line

Make a copy of the table for testing purposes 😉

Hey @YannD

Sorry it has taken so long to try this, but… Thanks! It worked!

@jscottsmith You can do that with General Caster

It depends on how much you value the time you spend in doing basic things… 🤷
