Hi Community - hoping you can help me out.
I have boards that we use for our purchasing, and contracts etc - each board needs to have its own number, preferably with a prefix - the key criteria is that this number must be unique and must always be associated with that item, wherever it is on the board.
Solutions I have already tried and failed are:
Auto Number - doesnt work, because if an item gets shifted or deleted, it changes all the numbers on all the items
Using the Item ID, and or a forumla to add a prefix to the Item Number - this works great, except you cannot search using this number, making it useless!
Manual numbering - this is flawed, because people often type in the number wrong, but as it can be copied and searched for is the only solution that we can currently use.
I would love it if someone has come up with a better idea for this
