Feature AutoNumber in Dynamics 365 On-Premise

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Hello,

is the Feature "AutoNumber" (https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/previous-versions/dynamicscrm-2016/developers-guide/mt593078(v=crm.8)#Anchor_3) also available for Dynamics 365 On-Premise 8.2.3?

I want to use the tool "ANM" (https://jonasrapp.net/2017/10/anm/). All instructions that I could find need the version 9 of Dynamics.

Thanks!

    Hi Sven,

    OOB auto-number feature is a new feature introduced in Dynamics 365 for Customer Engagement apps version 9.0.

    So Dynamics 365 On-Premise 8.2.3 cannot use this new feature.

    You need to create a workflow or plugin.

    In addition to what Goutam recommends, I have found some other third-party solutions:

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Autonumber attributes released in Dynamics 365 v9.0.

    docs.microsoft.com/.../create-auto-number-attributes

    If you are using lower version you can use workflow to create autonumber , see here my article -
