Not Able to change Data type of standard Name field from Text to AutoNumber

Hi friends,

I had created an object Purchase Order, DataType of Its standard Name field was Text,

After packaging (Managed Package) our clients want it as Auto populated, I am not able to do this, because I can change its Datatype,

 

How to solve this Issue.?

 

Thanks,

Amit

Workaround:

 

1.Create an autonumber custom field

2. create a wokflow field update to populate the standard name field

I have added this object into managed package, that means now I am not able to create autonumber field on this object,

so this workaround will not work.

 

Is there any?

 

 

Thanks,

Amit

As far as I know you can create a custom field in the object regardless the package is "managed". and so the workflow.

 

You cannot do this?
