*Example*:
Today's date: *27/06/2026*
I would like the invoice sequence to look like this:
INV/2026/06/27/00001
or INV/2026-06-27/0001  I checked the different settings available (Developer Mode > Select records > Resequence), and it seems to work only with the year and month. However, when I try to include the day in the sequence, it doesn't work.

Hope this helps.
Thanks
