the script worked properly but it did not work in the server script doctype because when you save the doc then faced the ImporrError.

Main issue is:

4

the field type = data

5

Now how can i use this to create value in custom_ref field in (‘%Y%m%d%H%M%S’) format
i want that value use as refrence no

Possible, but you have to develop it in the custom app using the doc_events.

Please click on doc_events.

You have to learn to the hooks concept.

i have create a custom app which name is demo

shuold i put this code in hook.py

import frappe
from frappe import _

def before_insert(doc, method):
    if not doc.creation:
        doc.creation = frappe.utils.now_datetime().strftime('%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
