I am wanting to create a unique id with the current date and time. I have it set to set the variable in the StartScreen currently.
Also, how would you clean the record up to have a string of numbers only. For example, 06062024953
Hi!
To do this, it should just be something along the lines of:
If(IsBlank(Param("ID")), Set(VarRand, Text(Now(), "mmddyyyyhhmmss")))
The if function is just what you already had, and "Text(Now(), "mmddyyyyhhmmss")" formats it as you specified.
Hope this helps!
Great thanks, I had to move it to on Start for it to work.
@madlad I put varRand in a textbox text control to test it and it is not coming through.
Looks like it's Blank currently - try running OnStart from the 'App' Selection in the Screen view and see if that sets it
Let me know how it goes!
Ok it populated. I moved to the create new button so it would create when I created a new item.
