View auto-incremented

[numberz]

Hi,
I created a number attribute and made it auto-incremented. The number value shows up in the displayed list but I need it to show WHEN I'm entering values for other attributes. Why doesn't this value show up when entering?

From my understanding, the auto-increment fields will get updated when the record is created.
If you want to see it when you are entering a new record create a rule like this
IF BO IS NEW
THEN BO.Number=MAX(BO.Number)+1 and it should display the next number

Did you actually get this to work Roger.

I am trying it but that usage of MAX (and even COUNT) does not work

Mark, yes I did get this to work. I use it when a new inventory item is created. The inventory number if separate from the ID that Aware created for the new record.
I have a process that does a ENTERNEW InventoryMaster with InvNo=MAX(InvNo)+1 etc...
