How do I create a label that increases its value by 1 each time?

Hello.

How can I create a label (by using a source on creation trigger) that assigns a bigger number each time an item is created? For example, item 1 gets label value of 1, item 2 gets label value of 3, item 3 gets label value of 3, etc.

Thanks!

Here's an example of how you could do it. I added a "counter" label to the source and then use a couple of the OnCreation pickoptions to first increment the counter label and then assign that value to a label on the item.

In this case, you could actually scrap the counter label and just set a label on the item equal to getoutput(current) + 1, since the source keeps track of how many things have left it.
