Issue with Auto Numbering

Pinecone · 07-13-2011, 09:06 PM

I tried to do a bug report, but I can't find my password, and it didn't send it to me.

But, with custom series like columns, you can auto number from some starting number.

But the starting number is limited to 2 digits. I have a Genre column that in SciFi I have almost 300 books. I managed to mess up an author, so wanted to renumber a part of the Genre column, but it was starting with books number 228, and it would only renumber from 22.

Thanks.

It has been months but the last time I tried to start the renumbering of a custom series column with a three digit number I ran into the same limitation. Three digit numbers work in the standard series column but not in custom series columns.

Change to permit numbers up to 9999999 submitted.

Thanks.

That might be a BIT ambitious to need 7 digits.
