Create a table record from the app that can auto generate table ID

Support, Troubleshooting, & Help

Hi,

I am trying to create an “Andon Event” app that you can enter data such as part number, image, description etc in the app and display this in a table. I want to make the ID’s so that event 1 has ID of 0001 and event 2 has ID of 0002 and so on. The person who enters the data however will not know what the next ID is. Is there a way that this can be done, so the next Andon event has an ID of the previous event +1.

Thanks,

Nolan

hello @Nolsie, welcome to the Tulip Community!! it would be great if you could introduce yourself at: Welcome to the Community, let's meet!!!

this Post: Increment table ID field from the app - #3 by gio describes how you can use the Table API to get incremental ID’s based on the max in the Table. (as a note, the Product team is looking into other solutions to make this more streamlined, but this should help in the meantime.)

let us know if you have further questions!!
