Cannot change field properties

Post by wimneel »

Hi,
I am working with CSPro 5.0.3.
I have one ID field that I would like to be sequential and another field that I would like to be persistent.
However right-clicking on the field (on the form) and choosing "Field Properties" opens a window where these properties are greyed out and not available.
I have looked in the documentation and on this forum, but I haven't been able to find an explanation/solution.
Any help is much appreciated.

Dear Wimneel,
I think that only ID items can be set to persistent or sequential in the field properties. If you want to solve it, you must copy the 2nd field in the ID items record in the dictionnary part.

ID fields cannot be sequential. However, you can set the ID as persistent and then use logic to assign sequential values to it. See my response here:
