Hi,
I want to create a field in cmsb with a random reference number which will automatically create a random 4 digit number in the field (reference number) when a new record is created in cmsb.
I have tried adding some php code to the default value but as I suspected it wont excecute the code. Is there any way that this is achievable without being too painful?

Hi,

What you would have to do is create a custom plugin that would enter this value into the CMS when a new record has been created. If you're comfortable with creating plugins, you'll probably want to use the record_postsave hook. If you'd like us to built this for you, please send an email to consulting@interactivetools.com and we'll go over some options.

Thanks,
