No duplicate inventory number

[ayclau]

I want to catalog a physical library and want to add a column for inventory number. The default ID column doesn’t work for me because half of the books already have an identifying number.

I created an inventory number custom column, can I make it so it doesn’t allow repeating numbers?

You could write an action chain to check for duplicates. Or you could store the IDs and manually scan for duplicates.

If I have read a book I put the date in "DATE".

Is it possible to copy this data to a self-created column?

@Koosr1946 - IMO it would be better to put the date (e.g. today) into a "self-created column" directly.

Add a custom column, thus:



Set the date when and as appropriate:
