Use this code as the custom Validation script of the first Photo Number field:

for (var i=2; i<=15; i++) {
	this.getField("PHOTO NUMBERRow"+i).value = (event.value=="") ? "" : (Number(event.value)+(i-1));
}

Should it overwrite existing values in the other fields? Should you be able to overwrite the populated values manually, if you wanted to? Should it work from each field to the subsequent ones, or just the first one?

It shouldn’t overwrite existing values because I plan on having it blank, fill in the starting photo number and hope to auto populate based off my input. I think overwriting if you wanted to would be a good option if possible. And I think just filling in the first one should be fine! It's a time saving effort and if it's something unique I can handle the extra time. Thanks again for the help!
