We are working on an app that requires users to complete a profile after signing in before gaining access to the remainder of the app. Ideally, we’d like for a number (think 7-digit account number) to be automatically generated and added to the user profile row each time a user creates a profile. Is this possible and if so, can someone assist?

Edit 1. We’ve tried having the unique identifier added upon profile completion and that number is too long.
