Form Submission - {date+time}

You can create a simple Automation to rename tasks created from a Form.

• Trigger: Task created.
  • From the Created by dropdown menu:
    1. Click Deselect All.
    2. Select Forms.
• Action: Change task name.

You can use dynamic values from the trigger task (each form submission) including Custom Fields.
