How to make an issue counter

[Rodrigo diaz]

I need to make an issue counter that starts from number 4000 onwards, unlike a normal counter I need a task to be 4000 and the next to 4001 and so on

I can't think of any use for this, so I'm curious as to why you want to do it?  (No need to explain, I am simply curious)

You will need to get one of the scripting or automation apps to do it though.  Create a field to hold the counter on the issues, and then write code in a post-function that looks up the last number created, and fills in the field with that +1.

Or, if the number is supposed to be for a single project, then look at the issue key.  Create a new project, import 3,999 issues into it, then delete them.  Next issue created will be ABC-4000
