Conditional AutoNumber

[jwparen2]

I am trying to make a Purchase Order tracker and I need each additional entry to increment like AutoNumber does, but only incremented from the last one for that job.

So entries could progress as follows:

JOB01-0001

JOB01-0002

JOB02-0001

JOB01-0003

JOB02-0002

etc.

Is this possible or will I have to go through and create an entirely new entity for each job code?

Hi jwparen2,

Thanks for reaching out with the issue. I believe you may be able to use something like this to achieve the auto increment functionality - 

OnStart on the screen, you may use - Set( MyVar, <someValue> )

And on each addition of the row, you may - Set( MyVar, MyVar + 1 ); Set( JobId, “Job01-”+ MyVar )

Here is a link for some more reference -

Let me know if that does not help.
