(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I have a requirement to Create Auto number on child records based on existing parent record.

Parent record has Autnumber as ACL -1120

Child records must have auto number as : ACL-1120_001 , ACL-1120_002 and so on.

Please suggest me the best way to implement this.

Thank you.

    you will need a custom plugin for that kind of autonumbering, as I am not aware of a way to do with the OOB functionality.

    You can try to modify this plugin https://celedonpartners.com/blog/celedon-autonumber-solution-for-dynamics-crm/ (source code is available)

    But I will talk first with the customer to make sure this kind of autonumbering is essential to their way to operate
