Creating Auto Number following specific User series in professional edition
Hello All,
I want to create a autonumber field which follows alias of a user. If the user is changed the auto number must restart in Professional edition.
For example, there is an autonumber as 'AC/18-19/FEB/001' , if the user alias is DA then it must start series as 'DA/18-19/MAR/001' in professional edition.
Thank you in advance!

This requirement cannot be achieved using Standard AutoNumber in salesforce since in Auto Number we cannot generate dynamic text.
But you can deifintely achieve this using Custom Formula field in Salesforce.
- Create a new formula field which references your Auto Number field having the below formula:
- $User.Alias + 〈API name of Auto Number field〉
- Hide your Auto Number field from page layout. (if required)
Please let us know if you have any quires.
