⛺️ Combine All Properties
Notion provides a collection of custom “properties” that database entries can be categorized by. In the following tip, I want to show how a user can consolidate all of these properties into one cell, or “formula” property to create a custom ID. This ID will allow for a minimal database view.
To Combine Notion Properties, The User Must Format All Properties Into Text
Step 1: Create a formula property
Step 2: Inside this property, convert all non-text properties you desire to consolidate into text properties if they aren’t already.
Convert non-text properties to text in Notion:
format(prop(“INSERT NAME OF NON-TEXT PROPERTY”))
Also, a user can customize how a date is displayed …
formatDate(prop(“INSERT NAME OF DATE PROPERTY”), “MM DD YY”)
What are non-text properties?
Number
Date
Checkbox
Created Time
Last Edited Time
How To Combine Text Properties
Combine each formatted property with a “+” sign.
format(prop(“Date”)) + prop(“Title”)
To add an empty space or divider between each property …
format(prop(“Date”)) + “ “ + prop(“Title”)
How To Add Line Breaks
format(prop(“Date”)) + “\n“ + prop(“Title”)
