Add sequential numbers

Question

I’m work on a form in Adobe Acrobat Pro that I want to be able to add the first number (20160001) and I want it to add 1 to each of the following field so that it will read 20160001, 20160002, 2016003 up to 20160016. Can anyone tell me how this is done, so I do not have to manually enter all numbers? But I need to be able to change the starting number.

Thank you,

There are two approaches to doing it. You can use the custom validation script of the first field to populate the rest, or you can use the custom calculation script of the other fields.
The first approach is probably easier because you only need to place the code in a single location, but you need to let us know what are the names of the other fields if you want the code that does it.
