Auto-incremental fields for farcry types

dev

Hi there,

Is there a way to configure a data field (cfproperty) to have auto incremental value using FarCry Formtool?
If yes, can we set the starting value for the increments?

Currently we have to set that up manually in the database. Is there a way we can automate this?

Thanks!

I don’t know of a way. In the past we used the bSave attribute on the property in the custom type and set it to false so that FarCry simply ignores that field when updating then used a SQL Server auto increment integer field. Not automated, but it did fit the bill. If you do find a way be sure to post it back here, and I’m sure if there is a supported way the Daemon guys will chime in soon.
