Auto Number Alternative for Identifier of a Static Entity in ODC
Application Type
Reactive

I have a Static Entity including many number of records like around 1000 records in O11 Application.

I want to Implement the same Static entity into a ODC Application. But when I copy the entity into the ODC Application from the O11 Application it shows the following error

"

Invalid app

The app uses 'StaticEntity Auto Number', which is not supported on this version.

 " 

when I set the auto number to no ODC is prompting me to set all the Values For IDs. 


IS there any way we can do this easily or we must manually assign the values for each identifier...???

Hi @Jyothiraditya Mullapudi,

When moving static entities from O11 to ODC, you're encountering a compatibility issue with auto-numbered static entities.

Please use the Excel Export/Import method with these steps.

  1. Export from O11 to Excel
  2. Add a column with sequential numbers
  3. Import to ODC using a temporary importer action
  4. Validate record counts
  5. Remove the importer action after migration

Hope it helps.

Thank You.

Hi @Jyothiraditya Mullapudi,

In OutSystems 11, Static Entities can use Auto Number for IDs, allowing the platform to generate them automatically.
However, in OutSystems Developer Cloud (ODC), Auto Number is not supported for Static Entities. This means you must manually assign all ID values when creating or importing these entities.
Since Static Entity IDs are often referenced directly in logic and conditions, changing them during migration can lead to broken functionality.
Therefore, maintaining the original ID values is essential to ensure consistency and avoid issues after the migration—even if it requires some manual effort upfront.

Hope this helps

Thanks

Hello.

My concern is why you need 1000 records in a Static Entity. Are you using any of those as static values in expressions, or is that just because it was done like that before?

that is used for a banking application to detmine the type of the document that we are uploading for loan taking process. and yeah it was previously implemented that way too...
