Cannot set Project series when creating a project

ERPNext
1

Hi there,

I have two project name series defined. One for general projects and one for software projects.

PROJ-.####
SOFT-.#####

The issue I am having is that recently, no matter what I select when I create a new project, it always defaults to the SOFT- prefix. I even deleted that series name from the list, updated it, refreshed everything, and verified that only the PROJ- prefix was available when creating a project, and it would still create the project with the SOFT- prefix.

We have restarted our instance of ERPNext on the server, we have updated the ERPNext software and Frappe framework, and nothing seems to resolve the issue. I don’t know if this is a configuration issue, a database issue, or what, but something is clearly not working correctly and I’d like to see if anyone else out there has any advice or insight.

Thank you so much for you input.

Check if you have

  • Naming rules
  • Default value on the naming series select field
  • Client/Server scripts related to document naming
  • Naming settings for the Project doctype

also check in the customize form of project the naming field is correct or not.

Thank you! Yes. There was a naming rule that had been created that was forcing all of them to be the SOFT prefix. Not sure how that happened, but I cannot thank you enough!
