You can use the %(ID) or %(GCount) token as the default value for the field. See this help page for more details. When the field has a default value with a token, the value will be assigned whenever a document is assigned that field (or the template with that field).

Hi Robert & Juan,

I believe for this work, the field must be editable for the user.

Another approach is to store a rolling number in a database or as a field on a "configuration" document. I find it easier to manage contention by using a database.

Follow-up question: why does it have to be a field? The entry ID is already unique and not editable by users.

Fair question and Juan might not need the counters. However, for myself:

  1. I used a counter because in one solution, I wanted to control the ID format <year>/<counter>
  2. In another, I had to track the number of times a change control was created for a given project: <entryID of project item>/<counter>
