Hi Helen "the guidance"? Is this the HER21 project? Can you point me at it? If you are creating some kind of alert layer for the HER, then why not manage it in your HBSMR Designation module? This can be used for any kind of area designation, not just statutory ones, and there's great flexibility in the data structure with many user-defined fields. And if you do this, then of course your records will be automatically assigned identifiers in the manner you suggest. Happy to help configure this if you want, and if everyone is doing this, there should be a standard configuration. Apologies if I have misunderstood!

The only column I have left is my unique identifier column. I'm not sure what to do to fill this with numbers, and I'm also not sure how best to do it so that when I re-make the layers in the future the features will have the same UIDs. I guess it would require joining the old table with UIDs to the new table. Anyway, really I'd like the UID column to have some sort of prefix+number. Any clever people able to give me a hand?
