#3565 - Sequence doesn't work

Closed Bug? created by Piero Groppuso Verified Purchase 2 years ago

I have set a sequence for the opportunity name, but the system when I try to create a new opportunity proposes me a different number of the sequence. I have tried to click on "initial fill", but the sequence does not change and remains the same.

My idea is to create a sequence that starts in this way: OP-00001

the system in the field "next sequence draw" proposes me this: photo 01.png

while when I try to create a new opportunity it proposes me this: photo 02.png

I also tried to uninstall and install the plug-in, but the system always proposes me the same sequence How can I reset the sequence to start from 1?

In addition, is it possible to have a complete User guide?

    Hello, can you attach a screenshot from the whole sequence setup (detail view)? I will rebuild it and let you know, if I face the same issue.

    Just in case: Had the field "name" been used by you before? There might be a conflict for existing data. Initial fill does not overwrite existing data due to security reasons. In that case I could extend the plug-in and provide an "initial fill force" checkbox, which would empty all previous values and rebuild the starting sequence.

    Attached screenshots of the sequence in detail. photo03.png photo04.png The "opportunity name" field was managed manually before, so it contains old data. Can the extension of the plug-in "initial fill force" create problems between the relationships with the various entities and problems with the DB?
    If possible I would like to extend "initial fill force" also to the previous records in order to have a unique sequence. Will this extension remain also later?

      Then the old data will create that conflict, since the sequence always checks for the maximum value inside that column. There wont be issues with relationships, but think about, if you use the field "name". At relationship fields you will see in future your opportunities sequences instead of your old name values.

      That extension will remain for sure for later. If you want to use it at other sequences as well, feel free. But be aware of changing all your existing data in that column!

    I can't find the file to download. Does it still need to be uploaded to the purchase section?
