Hello! Is there a way that i can have an app create a record with a variable but if the record already exists create another record with the same variable with a counted number? For example: If my variable is Red but it already exists as an ID then the app would create a new record, Red (1) or Red(2) if Red(1) exists and so on.

Hey Cole, we are releasing a feature in the next 4 weeks that would enable this functionality. Would you like to be added to the beta group?

Hey Neil, we just launched a new feature called “Table Aggregations” that will solve this. It went out in release 204. Do you have that release?
