Hey guys

I need to display the current ID of the Item that will be added to the sharepointlist.

what i mean is:

I have a SP-List as datasource. Before i click on new the last Item has the ID (the column genereted of SP per default) 54.

When i click on new i want to see the number 55 and growing (before actually saving the item) in the ID colum.

Right now when i click on new i only see a blank field (see screenshot).

Thanks in advance

Hi @mmbr1606

If you want to predict the ID of the next item to be added, you can add 1 to this result:
Last(Sort(YourSPList, ID, SortOrder.Descending)).ID + 1

If you have any questions or feedback, please let me know. Have a great day! 😊
