Dear Zubair Thank you for your rapid response. I have attempted to do this without success. I think I am misunderstanding.
1) I created the program variable "auto-increment' as suggested 2) In this step - is this a new program rule? I created a program rule as follows: "d2:hasValue #UID", Assign "#auto-increment + 1" to field "auto-increment". I then set this as priority 2. 3) I created my UID program rule as with the following action: "d2:concatenate( V{enrollment_date}, '-', A{Closest Health Center}, #{auto-increment})" assigned to the attribute for UID. This is set as priority 1. Unfortunately, this does not create the sequential number, but the concatenated sequence is showing in the UID Attribute. Do I have my priorities incorrect or have I done something else incorrectly?
