Auto number field - model-driven.

Posted on by 35

Hi everyone, 

I have a question about auto number field in dataverse table. I know possibility of use this type of field, but would like to ask if there is a possibility to parametrize it with other field from table.  

For example : Table A with fields : "Number - autonumber", "Description", "Documunt Type"

 

I would like to make autonumber  field with parameter in prefix  (@Document Type +digits ) :

1. "CD - 0001", "first document", "CD"

2. "CI - 0002", "second document", "CI"

 

I know that I can fill constant value in prefix but in this table I will store different types of document and would like to have auto number which determine also document type.

 

Will be greatful for any informations. 

 

Regards, 

Maciej

    Hello,

    I'm afraid that is not doable using just one Autonumber field. Alternatively, you can either use the Calculated field or create a regular field and populate that field with concatenated value using Workflow or Power Automate.

    Hi @a33ik

    thanks for direction - I think you are right - the only way will be to use calculated field or Power Automate workflow.
