Hi there....

I've created the quotation form for my website. The form has Quote ID, Quote Name, Buyer, Supplier, Product and Quote date. I've created a quote post in post type. So, it will stored on quote post.

For this post, I want to used or created a running number such as Q-0001, then the next post should be Q-0002. Also I want each to set each post that created will expired in 24 hours.

Did any method that I can use to get what I want?

Hello. Thank you for contacting the Toolset support.

Well - There is no such native feature available to generate the running number.

You should use CRED hook cred_save_data and add your custom programming within this hook to generate the running number.

To set post expiration for CRED - you can set post expiration settings. Please check following Docs:
