    Use the max(TableName.Field)+1 function.. Watch out for race conditions if using the Cloud version and  you have multiple people entering it... You may also want to add an alert to after create to ensure two users did not hit the create at the exact same time and create a duplicate.

    Having the exact same requirement; how exactly would an alert prevent duplicates?
