Please expand the two variable actions as well as the Update item action and post a screen shot. That will be a big help to those trying to assist.

Hi @Tapesh_Patel ,

Already offer a solution in the link below and please reply to this link if you have any problem:

https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Using-Flows/Auto-Increment-ID-duplication/m-p/518841/highlight/false#M13160

I would offer you the workaround to create a new sharepoint list with a Number type column, and create an item in the list with the Number column save the initial value and update the value once a form response is submitted.

Steps:

1. Create a new list "ListNew" with a Number type column Name "Number", create the first item in the list with the Number column set to 1000, the id of this item would be 1 since this is the first item in the new list, the screenshot of the list as below:

2. Create a flow to add a new item for the new response when the response is submitted as my screenshot below:

The flow would get the Number from the listNew, append 1 to the number and use the number to create new item in the list that you need, then update the Number with value(already append 1) in the list.

Hope the solution could help you.

Best Regards,

Alice
