Problem:

This customer had created a custom hook to auto assign some numbers to a custom field, however he wanted to prefix the numbers when they are being saved.

Solution:

To add a prefix when manually updating custom field take a look at the example below.

update_post_meta( $post_id, 'wpcf-checklist-task-id', 'SUP'.$last_id );

Notice that i added 'SUP'.$last_id, this will add the text 'SUP' to the id.
