Help creating keyword that creates a sequential value

[Vicky_Wade]

Think more on the lines of a Ticket number keyword. That we could specify a begining prefix and add a YYYY value to the end.

Autonumber Keywords are probably your best bet, but I'm pretty sure you can only do a number, no prefix or suffix.

I'd do what John said, and if you need to wrap text around it, then have a script concatenate the numeric value with the alpha and store it in a different keyword.

I have not tried this, but I believe that I read that version 12 would allow concatenation of property values.  If this is true then you could build a string with the alpha and numerals then store that as a different keyword using a workflow task list.

If you are using an e-form, you could have the form create the new keyword on the page load event.

Yes, I just tested property concatenation in OnBase 12 a few days ago and it worked like a charm. If you really need a prefix or suffix and not just a number, and you have OnBase 12, that would be the best option I think.

Thanks for the validation John!
