Does anyone have custom code already created for automatic sequential numbering for deals I could use? I’d like to add this code to a workflow via Operations Hub to auto-assign a job number to every newly created deal for accounting purposes. Thank you in advance!

Have you considered using the autogenerated _Record ID_ that Hubspot creates? It’s the first column whenever you export a deal view.
