Background
In OpenPlant PID CONNECT Edition, As per the user’s request, how to place Valve with using automatically increment Tag Number. For example, if the desired default tagging is for the Hand Valves to start with 100 then the first tag created should be an example as CV-100. The next valve to be placed will automatically increment from 100 to 101 This wiki article explains the procedure for it.
Please note these modifications will only effect valves that will be placed after this customization in a "NEW" project meaning the no Valve Tags in the database. The reason is that the function that is being used below will search for the Maximum Value by default and then increment by that number. In order for this to work, the first valve to be placed in the project drawings will be numbered with the first desired value.
