Hey everyone, is there a way to programmatically determine if auto-numbering is on or off for Projects?

not via any API that I'm aware of, you could potentially create a couple of projects and compare their numbers? but that feels a little goofy

(I don't see it in config/runtime modules)

<@U5FHY30BV> have you checked `context.newRecord.fields.tranid / transactionnumber` in a beforeLoad script? It's possible the value will be _To Be Generated_ if auto-numbering is on.

Check for Autonumbering (on Projects).ts

Here's what I ended up implementing.  Not pretty, but it works.

The presence of `altname` will reliably serve as a proxy of autonumbering?

For `project`?  Yes, from my testing in several different accounts
