Question

Formula to advance "Current Problem Number" System Setting

Hello, is there a way to use a business process to advance the default value in the Current Problem Number's System Setting?

Here is the use case: I am trying to use this default value (335 in the image) to set a number column value for a custom section I created. This is working, however it does not update the number to the next in the sequence as the [Problem] section would.

Is there a simple way, or a formula I could use in a business process to advance this number to 336?

Dear Mitch, 

Unfortunately, the only way to change SysSettings from the business process you would need to use script task and query a db directly. However, depending on the purpose changing this value there are 2 different workarounds. If you want to use it for the auto-numbering please read the article below:

If you want to use in just to store value the easier way would be to create a lookup based on a new object and change the value there as you would be able to change it through a regular modify data in business process. 

Best regards,
