If the Employee ID in Data Type starts from 1, then Get the pxResultCount from the Data Type by using a data page and increase it by 1 and set it for the new row's ID.

Hi @kanap2,
If the Employee ID in Data Type starts from 100, then your solution may not work so you need to do one small modification i.e increase by 1st EMP ID rather than increasing by "1".

You can also try to fetch the last emp id and increment it by 1 Employee.pxResults(<APPEND>).Employeeid=Employee.pxResults(<LAST>).Employeeid+1

Thanks yerrh for the additional information.
Yes, we can add pxResultCount to pxResults(1) and set it to Employee ID.
