Number field in Entity Manager

Or if you need auto-increment only (the visible difference is only number field type has defined length, AI - is simple number without '0' on the beginning) , you need to add field manually (see an example https://github.com/espocrm/espocrm/b...s/Case.json#L8)

Thank you, I successfully added ID to the layout. However, I am looking for something that will auto number. Is there a field that already does this? Is there an existing field in Customer table(s) that could be used?

Hello,
add ID to the layout. This field is hidden from Layout Manager.
If you have any customization in Account layout, you need to modify the file custom/Espo/Custom/Resources/layouts/Account/detail.json
If you don't have this file, copy it from application/Espo/Modules/Crm/Resources/layouts/Account (you could copy and modify all needed layouts)
add row [{"name":"name"},false], into rows section (the structure is intuitive clear).
After this the field ID will be visible in Layout Manager https://www.espocrm.com/video/layout-manager/

I assume that the database assigns an ID to each record created. I would like to display that ID when looking at an account. Is this a setting in customizing Espo? What is the way to do this?

TIA
