How to assign the attribute "teamsNames" in formulas?

I am trying to use a string attribute identical to the team name, but it is not working, for example:

teamNames = name;

The following doesn't work also:

entity\addLinkMultipleId('teams', name)


How can I found the team id from its name inside formulas or just add a new name to the "teamsNames"??

Hi,
You can't use the team'sname in this formula to select the team. Id only. https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...linkmultipleid.
To get Id of the team just go to the team detail view and get it id from the URL string.
Example:

 espocrm/#Team/view/5d8867a12919e38c0

Id of this team is '5d8867a12919e38c0'

Well, may I ask if using team's name would be possible implementing a custom function for formulas?

What I really need is to setup teams automatically based on the name. We have a lot of teams, one for each client, and it is not feasible doing it manually.

Yes, it is possible to use formula for predefining the teams. You can use this formula for the 'teams' field https://github.com/espocrm/documenta...linkmultipleid.
You can also try to find a similar question on the forum.
For example you can even try a way described here https://forum.espocrm.com/forum/gene...count-contacts.
