Hi

Is there any possibility of adding auto increment id’s with custom post type. Like number 1 for 1st invoice and number 2 for 2nd invoice.

I was building an Invoice generation tool for a client and messed up here !!

Thanks for your help !!

HI @anibabbar,

As a workaround to this issue, I would recommend you create a readonly number field for your post type. You can then create some logic within the acf/load_field filter with a counter to auto increment the value on the field each time the field is called.
