Automated customer number

[MediaKanal]

Hello,
I would like to add a new field for customers: the customer number.
It should look like this KD2020-00001

and I would like it to automatically take 2020 as the current year and always increment 00001 automatically.

how do I do this?

Kind regards
Simon

Hi,
You can add to your entity a new field of the 'Number (auto-increment)' type via Administration -> Entity Manager. You can define the 'KD2020' part in the prefix parameter https://docs.espocrm.com/administration/fields/#number.
In case you need only predefined '2020' instead of 'KD2020', you can try to utilize a concatenate formula in order to create a dynamic builder of the prefix you need https://docs.espocrm.com/administrat...ingconcatenate. For example:

numberAutoincrement = string\concatenate('KD','2020-', numberAutoincrement);
