Counter Increment

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hi I am trying to add an increment number to Opportunities so that it is easier in meetings to make reference to a number rather than the Opportunity title.

I have added a new Counter entity and added a new field to the Counter form. 

I have added one Counter record and started a workflow which is updating the file with the lookup field for the one record. I have then added an Increment by 1 on the workflow but it is not working. Any ideas please.

    Check out the new approach with Dynamics 9.x:

    If you still want to do it your way (old way):

    and beware of the right formatting:
