Maybe you will find this script useful. It has a lot more options https://github.com/creold/illustrator-scripts/blob/master/jsx/BatchRenamer.jsx

This would work:

function artboardRef() {
    var aDoc = app.activeDocument;
    for (i = 0; i < aDoc.artboards.length; i++) {
        var abName = aDoc.artboards[i].name;
        aDoc.artboards[i].name = (i + 1) + '_' + abName;
    }
}

artboardRef();

hello sergey, very useful script, like all the ones you've created, but I don't understand why only the "find/replace" function works for me, however very useful. Unfortunately I can't use the "suffix/prefix" functions instead, nothing happens, it doesn't behave like in your example. Probably I'm doing something wrong... Thanks in advance

sorry... I found out now that surely it's my machine that has problems (macOS Mojave + illustrator 25.4.8), I tried it on another more up-to-date computer with macOS monterey and illustrator 27.4.1 and everything works perfectly!, sorry again for the hasty request...

Can you record a gif, mp4 example? Which version of the script are you using? You can send information in messages in my profile.
