Creating a simple Business Rule to copy one field into another field

I'm attempting to work around the use of an "auto-increment" field value in a PDF Template after I discovered a bug in release 11.0:

Description: AutoIncrement Field Not Available for PDF

My thought is to create a text field, and copy the value of the "auto-increment Number" and use that field in the PDF.  Since BPM doesn't have a "copy" function, I thought maybe a business rule would do the trick.

My attempt at creating the rule was to trigger the rule if the auto-increment number isn't "9999" but I can't figure out how to get the rule to place the number in a "number copy" field.

It's probably something basic, so I'd appreciate some help without flames coming my way.  Thanks.

  • SUCCESS!  I found a way to do it with a simple process step!

    Instead of trying to apply a business rule, it is accomplished with a simple "Change Field" step - Setting the "Number Copy" field to be the "Number" field!

    Thanks for looking at this.
