Question

Sequential numbering issue in a fillable form

I created a fillable form that will increase the purchase order # by 1 each time a new purchase order is created.  However, the number is increasing by one with every field in the form - i.e. I start with number 1001.  when I go to the next field, the vendor, it changes to 1002, vendor address, 1003, etc.  How to I prevent this from happening?

thanks,

k

    Where did you place this code?

    I place the code in the Purchase order field - not anywhere else.  the number is starting at 1000.  Under Properties, Format tab, Simplified field notation:  PONumber+1.

    the other fields do not have anything under the Format tab.

    Hi Karrind27796355,

    There seems to be a problem the "Script" used to create the forms fields.

    There could be a possibility that "Form Field" you have put the script add(+1) a number and when you are coping the same filed and applying the same script its increasing the number.

    Would suggest you to check the Script used to create the form fields.

    Regards,

    Akanchha

    I did not copy the same field.  I created each field separately.
