Hi @heidi.andrew,

You can try with the following expression:

"0000000000".slice($COUNT.length) + $COUNT

Let me know if this helps you.

Or if you want to do it in more dynamic way where you specify how long should the field be, you can try the following expresssion:

sl.range(0,10).map(x=>'0').join('').slice($COUNT.length) + $COUNT

Just change the second parameter in sl.range(0,x) .

I KEEP getting the null:
