Hi,
Aren't you looking for the AutoField?
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/models/fields/#autofield
It will automatically increment based on each record added to the table.
As an aside, the problem you are having is that in python, the first
argument to a class is a reference to the instance of that class. In C
this is often called a context. In C++ and Java it would be like the
`this` pointer. So you wouldn't generally pass "self" to a class member.
Hope that helps!

Hello,
I have a model ...

class PurchaseOrder(models.Model):
po_number = models.IntegerField(unique=True)

and a function ...

def get_po_number(self, *args, **kwargs):
if not self.id:
last_po = PurchaseOrder.objects.order_by('po_number').last()
if last_po:
last_po_num = last_po.po_number[-2:]
new_po_num = int(last_po_num) + 1
else:
new_po_num = '0001'
self.po_number = new_po_num
return self.po_number

what I'm trying to do is use the get_po_number() function to get a
default value for the po_number field in the model. However when I set
the default in the model like so...
|
class PurchaseOrder(models.Model):
po_number = models.IntegerField(unique=True,
default=get_po_number(self))
|
it says "NameError: name 'self' is not defined"
What am I doing wrong? Thanks!
