Tell us what you are trying to do?
I am trying to create an incrementing ID within a custom post type — within a custom field... Is this possible with Toolset? Is there a custom field to do this?

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

Hello and thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Toolset does not offer a specific field to offer to autoincrement ID feature. But, you can still implement it using a Number field and some custom code.
If you will be creating/editing posts using Toolset forms, you can implement a similar custom code to this one https://toolset.com/forums/topic/auto-incrementing-number-field/#post-1460033

If you will be creating/editing posts from the backend, you can implement something similar to the code in this thread summary https://toolset.com/forums/topic/number-will-increment-when-editing-post-auto-numbering-posts-vs2/

You can find similar cases in the forum with this scoped search link hidden link

I hope this helps. Let me know if you have any questions.
