When setting a form, I currently can select what the task name should be from the fields in the form. I would like the ability to choose these as variables and be able to add my own text. For example: Name, and then add the word: Requirements to be reviewed. Here is the screen shots where I would like the edit to be made. ![Screenshot 2024-06-17 at 07.30.46](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/3/6/36ba333b991ce246396fae796ee064db812e06c9.png) ---

You should be able to do this in Rules. Totally get wanting to add it in the form settings but you can have Rules pull the current title (from the form) and have it append the “Requirements to be reviewed” ![Title Update](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/asana/original/3X/c/6/c6e9f69b1c125b02fdb596e64da431cd02e2cda2.png) ---

Hi @Rebecca_Bowen Thanks for the comment. Yes, I know that rules can create that, but this is a workaround. Forms should have more native abilities which are already built in the system else where. Rashad ---

So basically have the same functionality that is now in the rules. Sounds like a good idea. Now it’s often “ooh let’s set that in the form” which lead’s to “that’s not quite what I want” needing to result to a rule where it would have been cleaner to set this at the entry point. ---

This would be great! We concatenate a number of form fields attached to custom fields into the task name so that each task is named consistently and uniquely, and have found it necessary to use rules, in part to eliminate all the commas between each field’s data that the form introduces. A more robust task naming feature native to the form would be helpful. I’d love to see options to omit deliminating commas, call data based on the connected custom fields rather than just the form’s base fields, and insert custom text.
