Hey Guys, 
 
May you can help me out. 
 
I need to create a flow where is a new specific Number generated. 
 
The Format must be 8-digits: yyMMdd(01) and the 01 have to be specific.
 
The first step i made with initialize variable with  formatDateTime(utcNow(), 'yyMMdd')
 
What is the best procedur to add the 01/02/03. 
 
Thank you for you advice.

    My suggestion would be to use variable to create the index values.
     
    Initialize a variable with integer type and select value as 1
     
    Use Increment variable action to increment the variable value by 1 each time an item gets created.
