Uniques Identifier as code for a Numbered List

Can i Use Numbered list Unique identifier as a Part of code for Numbered List?, How long can a Unique Identifier can go?

I have a numbered list Named 'Activity List' under a Customer List as its parent and I am Planning to use Unique identifer as a code for that List as Name(Item(Activity List)&"_"&Code(Parent(item(Activity List)))

So it will be #1234_CustCode.

Is it good thing to do if we donot have any other unique identifier to create codes for that list, My actual worry is that list will be used many times and I am not sure how long Anaplan can create Unique identifer for that numbered list so what if code goes on like #9999999999999999_CustomerCode

Number list is limited by 999 999 999 index and then has to be reset. Otherwise you will not be able to add additional elements.

Code property is limited by 60 characters. So you have to make sure that your concatenation is less than 60 in length.

Please do NOT have the internal number (the # number) as part of the code as that will change if you delete the list and reload it. It is better to get a true code based on the data.

Not Just Numbered list, General List as well has a cap of one billion - 1

Hi @Misbah

Thanks for noticing, I did not mention it because we were talking about numbered lists here. But you are right.

All good. I am sure we MA's are aware of such things but other community members/MBs might not be - hence the call out.

Hi @rob_marshall Actually the case is ,everytime the list item is created through bulk upload or manually, it should create a new item ,it should not update any existing one
