Possibility for numbering schemes with mor than 10 different fields

[Frodl]

Hello,

The numbering scheme allows for a maximum of 10 different fields. We need significantly more fields.

The restriction of 10 fields should be abolished.

Can you provide an example of why your number scheme is more than 10 fields?  How many fields would be enough?

Hello,

I think there should be no restriction on the number of fields.

An example of a number scheme with more than 10 fields are e.g. The document numbers of Deutsche Bahn AG (DB) or our company internal schemata.

Example DB:

2-A-02-24-52___-04-TS-119

There are 8 fields with variable content and between there is always a separator with "-". These are a total of 14 fields.

Example Company:

T16-00014-M-5_S_SV_10_XX_1101

There are 10 fields with variable content and between there are 8 Separators. These are a total of 18 fields.

In order not to have any restrictions in the future, probably 30 fields would be enough.

One more note:
When you create the number scheme, you can create more than 10 complaints in the dialog for creating / editing the number scheme. Only when the dialog is closed with "OK" does the message appear that a maximum of 10 fields can be generated.

It would be helpful if you could not create more fields in the dialog than Vault really accepted.

Very good idea!

PAS1192 (BIM level2 UK) has a requirement for 7 fields (13 incl. Delimiters) with a further 3 optional fields (5 inc. delimiters).
So that's between 13 and 18 depending on the optional fields one is required to use (on a project by project basis)

As this is the standard for a large portion of future UK-based construction projects it seems short-sighted to not allow a naming convention / numbering scheme that doesn't comply with this standard.

Hi Autodesk,

While creating numbering schemes, I encountered this error which states that there is a limit (10) on the number of fields. I can work around this by merging a few fields together but it becomes less convenient for the end user later on. I was hoping that this limit could be increased, or removed if possible.
