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.

    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

    Hello @Anthony_Dob 

     

    As the Warning is not here it will Auto Use ALPHANUMERIC too so no issues in that, it will work as expected
