Use multiple questions to populate the request form prefix

In request forms, we can combine fields to create a very descriptive title.

However, the "Add Prefix" feature can only reference 1 custom field.

It would be helpful to combine multiple custom fields in the prefix as well.

Our current workaround is to add a question (called 'Prefix') and have the requester manually enter the two fields (not ideal).

Hi this might help with your work around to not have to manually add

In the form, for any questions that needs to be apart of the title make sure "Add answer to" = Title (+ any field the info needs to be in)

Then based on the order of the question(s) that points to title will dictate which field is first to last as a "prefix" to the title, just make sure the last question that belongs as the actual title, is last.

Q1 Q2 Q3 Q4 = Prefix A - Prefix B - Prefix C - Title

Q1 Q3 Q2 Q4 = Prefix A - Prefix C - Prefix B - Title

The only down side is all the dashes

Hope this helps! TY

@Michael Hebert - that works great for the title. I'm looking to add a prefix to all the tasks created from the request form.

The title (highlighted in green) has the customer - part number - revision. The yellow is the "prefix" which I'd like to be the same (customer-part number-revision), but in the picture below it's only the part number.

As far as I can tell, the request form can only select 1 field to be added as a prefix for the tasks. Unless there's another workaround of combining fields in a form.

Hi @Mike Fank 👋

Thank you for taking the time to explain your use case in detail and for sharing how you’d like the customer–part number–revision combination to appear as a prefix on all tasks created from the request form. And thank you, @Michael Hebert, for jumping in with a clever workaround for building the full title from multiple questions in the form 🙏
