Can signature be changed?
0

Hello everyone! I have such a case:
There is a process, where new element is being added on the first day of the month and giving it signature containing next continuous number. Someone accidenly deleted the last one and the created new one. Nowe we have documents 1,2,3,4 and 6. Is there a way to change the signature of 6 to 5? I can delete the number 6 but what will reset the numbering so that the new created one will be 5?

Any ideas community? :)

Hi Michał,

interesting question and I hope someone can shed some light on it.


I once asked a similar question during a training and my only memory on it is, that there are multiple tables involved which would be need to be modified. So my take away was: Don't try to change it, a signature ones used is spend. They can not be reused. At least as long as you don't delete all via the admin tools from designer studio. This will reset all.


There's a function in the SDK with which you can update the signature though. I haven't used it.

I hope someone with more knowledge will answer.

There's an old howto post:
