Hi guys,
I have a autonumber column configured as below. Will this column never exceed 6 characters? Because I need this column value always to have 6 characters.
Hello @Anthony_Dob
Hope you are doing Good,
Open the Field, and Click Advance Settings and Set the Maximum Length to 6.
That's it 🙂
Please mark as Answer if it is helpful and provide Kudos

Hello @rampprakash !
Hope you are doing great as well!
The format used to be {RANDSTRING:2}{SEQNUM:4}. When setting Max length to 6 it would give below warning.
This is why I changed format to {RANDSTRING:6}. Now I don't get this warning on changing Max length to 6. I am just asking this to be 100% sure that Autonumber will never go over 6 digits.
Best Regards,
Anthony
As the Warning is not here it will Auto Use ALPHANUMERIC too so no issues in that, it will work as expected
