Dear Zubair

Thank you for your rapid response. I have attempted to do this without
success. I think I am misunderstanding.

1) I created the program variable "auto-increment' as suggested
2) In this step - is this a new program rule? I created a program rule as
follows: "d2:hasValue #UID", Assign "#auto-increment + 1" to field
"auto-increment". I then set this as priority 2.
3) I created my UID program rule as with the following action:
"d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', A{Closest Health Center},
#{auto-increment})" assigned to the attribute for UID. This is set as
priority 1.

Unfortunately, this does not create the sequential number, but the
concatenated sequence is showing in the UID Attribute.

Do I have my priorities incorrect or have I done something else incorrectly?

Kind regards,
Terence
