I have a table created and wanted to use the ID type with auto increment. I was wondering if it is possible to start the auto increment from a custom number. so default would be starting from 1 then 2 and 3 etc.

i wanted to start from a custom ID number like 416300 and auto increment onwards. so the next number would be 416301 then 416102 etc.

I have not found a way to do this within DreamFactory, but I am checking to see if I may have missed something.

Confirmed that this is not supported via the API.
