    We need to create an autonumber, like a reference and store in a field called "Reference ID". What is the fastest and easiest way to create an autonumber?

    Thanks

    If it's a quick solution, I've used this system in the past:

    function setReferenc() {
            var code = "ACN";
            var lastName = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("new_lastname").getValue();
            var rnd = Math.floor((Math.random() * 99999) + 1000);
            var refNo = code + "\" + rnd + "-" + lastName;
    }

    Not completely guaranteed to be unique, but it works.

    Sorry, I had this one before but the developer doesn't share his code so I don't want to install that one.
