Populate Name Field with Base Name

Hello!

I created a Project Template base that has various phases and steps with our design process. This base will be duplicated and renamed as new projects come in.

I also created a separate Project Dashboard base, to be used to get a birds eye view of all the active projects going on at once.

In the Project Template base there’s a table with a name, assignee, and project status fields. This grid view is synced to the Project Dashboard.

Once I duplicate the project template base and rename it to the new project, is there a way to pull in the new name of the base into the name field?

I didn’t see anywhere in the functions to pull in the base name. I was able to generate the base name using the script extension +  output.text(`${base.name}`);, but I don’t see a way of bringing that information into the name field.

Thank you for your help!

Make a copy of this base, change the base name and check the box next to the “Base Name” record. (you may have to turn on the automation first).
