CUSTOM COLUMN ID START NUMBER

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by Houji 99

Hi Everyone, 

Good day! 

I want to create a sharepoint column that starts custom_id at 4000.

  • In sharepoint I have created a calculated column and used power automate to start the custom_id column to 4000.

Basically it's working. However, upon submission the power automate takes time/late. So the column custom_date is late. 


Question:
Is there any other options to make a custom id faster that when form is submitted it also reflected on the calculated column instantly?


Thanks in advance!

    You'd have more luck just having a column of number type... then on the form's OnSuccess() property, something like this:

     

    Patch(

    DataSource, FormName.LastSubmit,

    {StartNumberColumn: First(Sort(DataSource,StartNumberColumn,Descending)).StartNumberColumn+1})

    @zmorek yes this is when id 4000 is already available. but if it's an empty data. I think this is not the best way. The flow is working fine. But my problem it adds 4000 custom id but super delay/late
