Make Quote Number and Invoice Number Field Editable

[ChrisWright]

That’s is a special field. You can change the sequence from Admin->AOS Settings. Now, you mentioned you want to use your custom format… For that I recommend you to create your custom field from Studio and fill it up using Workflow: https://docs.suitecrm.com/user/advanced-modules/workflow/

or by using a logichook:

That way you make sure number is unique and auto incremental and without to much work. This method consists of using a before_save logichook and a simple query at the time of recor…
