Dynamic List Name based on selection/input

Sachinsourav02

Anaplanners,

So I have a numbered list, which is used to populate project names by the end user. 

Projects are created in Anaplan by the end users, they provide name of the project and input various other attributes pertaining to the project. 

However, I had a doubt on one new request, if the user selects a particular region (which can be selected either during creation of the project in Anaplan or at a later stage as well), then the region code should be concatenated with the project name (list name). Is that possible ? 

Example User enters project name as "Anaplan Project 1" and selects region Europe, the final list name should be "Anaplan Project 1-EU". And at a later stage, that is post creation of the project in Anaplan, if the user changes the region to North America, the project name (list name) should be automatically updated to "Anaplan Project 1-NA".

PS: - I know we can achieve this using line item and displaying the line item instead of the actual lists however I wanted to see if we can achieve it with the list itself. As many reports have the list published. 

Thanks

@Sachinsourav02,

This is more likely achievable as you are using numbered list. Make use of the display name functionality to attain this. Below in more detail,

 

Project List : Numbered List

 

Property : Display Name with Formula for dynamic change

 

Setting up the  Display Name property

 

User Selection Module

 By this way, whenever user tempts to change the region the display name would automatically gets changed.

I hope this helps!
