Unique identifiers for array

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 21
Hi,
 
I'm creating a flow where I have found it necessary to have an Employee ID. My data source doesn't have this unfortunately.
 
My select action looks like this:
 
 
title
​ProjectResponsible​
enterprise
​if(...)​
service
​if(...)​
spjaeldsag
​if(...)​
dato
Enter value
 
 
I would like to add a unique id for each employee. For reference I have five different employee, and therefore need five unique ids that only show on the associated employee.
 
Is there any way to do this?
 
PS. I have tried to create a couting integer variable, but that gives each array item a specific id, not the employee.
 
I hope someone can help!
