We're Moving to a New Support Platform – Starting June 1st!

We’re excited to let you know that starting June 1st, we’ll be transitioning to a new support system that will be available directly on our product websites – Amelia, wpDataTables, and Report Builder. In fact, the new support platform is already live for Amelia and wpDataTables, and we encourage you to reach out to us there.

You'll always be able to reach us through a widget in the bottom right corner of each website, where you can ask questions, report issues, or simply get assistance.

While we still do not offer live support, a new advanced, AI-powered assistant, trained on our documentation, use cases, and real conversations with our team, is there to help with basic to intermediate questions in no time.

We're doing our best to make this transition smooth and hassle-free. After June 1st, this current support website will redirect you to the new "Contact Us" pages on our product sites.

Thanks for your continued support and trust – we’re excited to bring you an even better support experience!

Automatically fill a cell with custom value for each new row

    I'm setting up a new table and I would like to know if it is possible to automatically fill a cell with a custom value every time a new row is created. What I'm trying to accomplish is to create automatic "serial numbers" with a custom format which would be something like:
    ###-Three Characters-A consecutive number (where ### means 2 or 3 digits which correspond to user's id). For example 23-TOR-01, and the value for a new row would be: 23-TOR-02, and so on.

    Is this currently possible in wpDataTables or can I accomplish this using SQL queries or would it be through an Ajax call or should I use a javascript to generate the serials?

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi ecoluzmx,
    Thank you for your purchase.

    Sorry for late response we were very busy because of the 2.0 Beta release of our plugin.
    Unfortunately something like this is not possible with the plugin build in functionalities and it requires some code customization.

    You can use Default value ( attachment ) for desired columns in Optional column setup for table that will be displayed in filters on the page load but users will be able to delete that field if they want to edit the data in the table.

    In our 2.0 version of the plugin it will be possible to define the default values for filters and default values for editing.

    Sorry for any inconvenience.

    Best regards.

    Kind Regards, 

    Miloš Jovanović
