Assigning Project IDs Automatically

I want to be able to have the system assign a project number to each new project entered without us having to do it manually. I want to be able to customize that number and not just use the system generated unique ID.

How are you wanting to customize the number? What would the configuration look like?

@sjr1117,
I had a similar requirement, so I used the equation field to create a dynamic and unique record ID.

CONCAT("EE-", RIGHT(CONCAT("000000", {Auto Increment}), 5))

Be careful, I used the same equation but I was told the use of {Autoincrement} in equations is not sure, at some point it stopped showing the result value. I had to used the custom JavaScript pipe, concatenate method, to take the same elements to build the same code type.
