Create Increment Field using Workflow

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by SignInNameNotAvailable 16

I want to create an increment field for numbering in my entity. The sequence will go from 1,2,3, ...... 20,21,22, ..... and so on.

I want to increment the field by 1 each time a new record is cretaed. So Record 1 will have ID of 1, record 2 will have ID of 2 and so on..

Is there a way to do this using a workflow?

    Hello,

    Why do you want to implement it using workflow when there is OOB type of field - d365goddess.com/.../

    I've created a Custom entity and want to implement on the custom entity. Is the OOB type of field not just for certain OOB entities or can you use it for Custom entities?

    This field type can be added to any entity including custom entities.

    Can't get that to work. Have you any information about doing it using a WorkFlow?

    What have you tried so far? Implementing autoincrement using Workflow is not recommended.
