minimum_value for SERIAL idno

jeffschneider

SERIAL idno in multipart_id_numbering.conf seems to be working well on my first go but I can't get the minimum_value right. I put in 5000 for the value and it always starting off on 1.

ca_objects = {
jwire = {
separator = _,

	elements = {
		number = {
			type = SERIAL,
			minimum_value=5000,
			editable = 0,
			zeropad_to_length = 6,
			sequence_by_type = 1,
			dont_include_subtypes = 1
		}
	}
}

I am on a 1.7+ version

Hi Jeff.

Is there already records for this object type before you added the multipart id settings? If you have existing records and the idnos in there don't match up to the format you have in the configuration, then the sort order gets all messed up and just returns 1. Otherwise, try rebuilding the sort order and see if that sets things right.

Thanks Monica
Yes there are existing records that do not match the format currently. I plan on updating them. My previous post about updating IDNOs was for that purpose. So I'll do that and try again.
