<!channel> Is it possible to set the number of the next project created and continue the iteration from there? We are switching to Advanced Projects and when we turn that module on in Sandbox the Project numbers start over at 1. We just don't want to appear like we just set up shop yesterday.

<@U9LPTU0SG> Have you tried the Auto-Generated Numbers config in Setup?

Actually just checking, although Project is listed, doesn’t appear that it does allow the same flexibility as other records e.g. Customer.

Don’t believe my test account has the Advanced Projects, so perhaps there’s more capability added.  Setup =&gt; Company =&gt; Auto-Generated Numbers.  You may have checked that first thing and I’m not really helping at all ha, but worth a look in your account if not

With Advanced projects you can set the initial number for projects in the Auto-generated Numbers section and do the normal Prefix/Suffix configuration as well
