Auto-increment Field / ItemId Field

tw>=2.0

The field type enables you to assign a column for an ID number to a tracker. You can either use the itemID from tiki (which counts all items in all trackers) or an ID you define using a string and a consecutive increasing numeric value.

For instance

with a parameter: 1,File

The first item field value will be File1, the second item field value will be File2

with a parameter: 0,,,itemId

The field value will be the itemId

Options

Value	Description	Tiki version
numeric	Initial value, default 1	tw>2.0
string	Prepend string	tw>=2.0
string	Append string	tw>=2.0
the string itemId	the field will contain the itemId	tw>=2.0

The option are separated with comma.

Since Tiki9, this field can be used in PluginTrackerFilter to allow users to do custom searches of items in a tracker based also on their auto-increment field.

Limitation

an auto-increment field is only set up when the item is created
an itemId field is only set up when the item is created or modified

In order to set a new itemId field on existing items. this sql query can be used

DELETE FROM `tiki_tracker_item_fields` WHERE `fieldId`=317;
INSERT INTO `tiki_tracker_item_fields` ( `itemId` , `fieldId` , `value` )
SELECT `itemId` , 317, `itemId`
FROM tiki_tracker_items
WHERE `trackerId` =54

Where 317 is your itemId field and 45 your trackerId.
