Dynamic Fields Issue - Subject Line Issue
So... intermediate knowledge of Smartsheet.
Weird issue. I've tried messing with the syntax and arrangement...
Subject 1:"{{MeetingID}} - Notes"
Automation Email Subject 1:"Changes to Meeting Log - Project: Project Meeting Minutes"
Subject 2:"{{MeetingID}} - Action Assigned"
Automation Email Subject 2:"Team Huddle - Enterprise Apps - 06/10/21 - 09:30 AM - 10:00 AM - Action Assigned"
I'm confused.

This is probaly why.
Placeholders will generate separate notifications when using placeholders with Alert or Update Request actions in change-based workflows if six or fewer rows are triggered simultaneously. If seven or more rows are triggered at once, the custom subject and body will be removed.
Make sense?

I hope you're well and safe!
Can you describe your process in more detail and maybe share the sheet(s)/copies of the sheet(s) or somescreenshots? (Delete/replace any confidential/sensitive information before sharing) That would make it easier to help. (share too,[email protected])
I hope that helps!
Be safe and have a fantastic week!
Best,

这是并排的两个。“行动ssigned" subject is fine. the Meeting notes is not.
Could it be that I'm returning multiple rows? that doesn't make a lot of sense, but might explain it.
Either way, I hate it.

Can you provide a sample of the data you are pulling this from? It might help sculpt the solution. The headers and some sample info would be very helpful in deciphering what's going on.

@Mike Wildayif it helps, it is the same exact sheet.
That's what is so confusing.
The difference I see:
1) Meeting notes-- sends several rows
2) Action item -- sends a single row
META--Replace MS OneNote, run all meetings from Smartsheet and have the data filed/organized and reportable in a meaningful fashion. That requires a certain aesthetic. Right now, the FUNCTION works well, but the subject is not ideal or customized in #1. #2 is perfect.
If you still need details, I can send them. I've been doing database builds for about 25 years or so and it's taking me a moment to figure out the workarounds to the shortcomings of Smartsheet

You would use the below for Jan 2023 and adjust the month and year numbers accordingly for each of the other months.<\/p>
=IF(AND(MONTH([Start Date]@row)<= 1, YEAR([Start Date]@row)<= 2023, MONTH([End Date]@row)>= 1, YEAR([End Date]@row)>= 2023), [$ per month]@row)<\/p>"},{"commentID":387901,"body":"
Lets try a different approach.<\/p>
=IF(AND(VALUE(YEAR([Start Date]@row) + IF(MONTH(Start Date]@row)< 10, \"0\", \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/80243/\") + MONTH([Start Date]@row))<= 202307<\/strong>, VALUE(YEAR([End Date]@row) + IF(MONTH([End Date]@row)< 10, \"0\", \"//www.santa-greenland.com/community/discussion/80243/\") + MONTH([End Date]@row))>= 202307<\/strong>), [$ per month]@row)<\/p> Basically we are creating a yyyymm stamp from the start and end dates and comparing them to the yyyymm stamp for that year\/month combo.
