increment three digit counter

Question

hi, 
 I am currently incrementing a counter based on a the count of similar records in the database. 
 counter should start from 001. it defaults to 1 for me , when I am simply setting the counter to 000 and increment by 1. 
 Expectation is 001 and not 1 
 any help is appreciated.

A counter typically is an integer number. That is the technical internal value. To display such a value to the user, you somehow need to transform it into a string. Appian is doing this for using some default logic, but you can use the text() function to format your string in the way you want.
