Query regarding Field - Number on custom table

[linda_richards]

Hello Community!!

I've a custom table in global scope with Number field on it , we are just setting up this table where user will be manually creating an entry.

This table will be shows under related list of Table - Incident in ITSM.

For this table we have prefix and Number of digits details mentioned under Number Maintenance

Number starts with 10,001 and it has 7 digits and let's assume prefix is ABCD.

Field Number will look like this --ABCD0010001.

And my query is if I reach ABCD1999999, which is last number is 7 digit series, will ServiceNow automatically add extra 0 at take the next series or I need to take any care while designing it.

Happy Friday!

Thanks,

Linda

Hi @linda_richards ,

Your numbering will grow to 8 digits when all numbers are consumed automatically:

Hello @linda_richards 

• The last number in the 7-digit series will be ABCD9999999, which is already a very large number.
• However, if all 7-digit numbers are exhausted, ServiceNow will automatically continue the sequence with ABCD10000001 (8 digits), ensuring unique numbering without requiring manual adjustments.
