Hello Ahmed,

What are you trying to achieve that can not be achieved with NumberRange RL?

Best regards,

Hi Ben,

NumberRange is fine but when i update any instance the counter is incremented automatically i want to keep the original value.

Best regards,

Ahmed

You only have to call NumberRange if your external key is not set yet.
Adding something like bellow snippet could be enough.

if(this.ID.IsInitial())
{
    this.ID = NumberRange.DrawNumber("MyNumberRange");
}
