You can try using Row ID, or create a starting value ex: 100001 and then use increment or a math function on it. ---

As @Amal said, you can try Row ID, or in a form, the column called `Unique Key` ---

May I ask why don’t you just populate the unique identifier value to the new order, assuming you’re using a form? Or you want your IDs to follow a specific format? ---

There are a number of ways that this can be done, and which is best will depend on your specific use case. Refer to the following topic for some possible approaches: > [@Auto Numbering](https://community.glideapps.com/t/auto-numbering/20355): > > How to setting auto numbering that appear with a new order submit by a form button? Example, i have 3 form submitted. i need the first submitted form showing: 0001 - “form result; …” 0002 - “form result; …” 0003 - “form result; …” those 0001,0002,0003 auto generate by data backend.
