Dear Zubair, Nick

I have upgraded the instance to 2.30 now and am attempting to once again
implement the sequential numbering using the TextPattern option. I am using
it on a TEAttribute, but have not had any success.

Thus far, my Defined program rule action looks as follows:

d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-')

This is currently working and generating the UID, but of course, without
the sequential numbers. I have attempted the following combinations to try
include the sequential numbers to no avail:
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
SEQUENTIAL(###))
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
Sequential(###))
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
V{Sequential(###)})
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
V{sequential(###)})
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
V{sequential###})
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-',
'SEQUENTIAL(###)') - this one simply added the text in (as suspected).
d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', V{orgunit_code}, '-') +
SEQUENTIAL(###)

None of these combinations have worked thus far. Clearly I am
misunderstanding something or missing something and would appreciate any
help.

Kind regards,
Terence
