Hello,

I’m trying to use the project ID almost like it is, but with one more information. In the code P-YEAR-SEQUENTIAL\_NUMBER I must increase the 3 first letters of the category of the project. Then I need to get something like this:  
**P-YEAR-SEQUENTIAL\_NUMBER-CAT** or **CAT-YEAR-SEQUENTIAL\_NUMBER**. The problem related to this is that when I change the code, simply adding the **CAT** egory, I lost the sequential number. For example:  
I add the project P-2009-0001 and increase the code with P-2009-0001-TEC. After this, when I add another project, the project ID is P-2009-0001, the same that first. Can I change the code? Where I do this?

Can you help me?
