How to format an auto id field

Labels

This Discussion is public

Notifications

I have a text field that is read only as follows:

EP[auto_id start=1]

This is great as each entry has an automatically generated ID as follows:
EP1
EP2
EP3

and so on.

The client would like to see this field in the following format:
EP00001
EP00002
EP00003

Is it possible to set this up through the Format property?
Thanks for any advice given,

Tania

I recently did something similar, but in my case there is a number at the beggining. B01-B15

To get B0100000001 I did B0[auto_id start=100000001]

In your case you might need a hook or javascript to turn the number with the leading zeros to a string and then combine it with "EP".

It would be really neat if Formidable include this function.
