Iterative Numeric Prediction

I started a record that has a long series of sequential 7 digit record numbers for each name in the record. I am indexing this as the record number for the name. If an option could be added on the record page to just check a box and say "sequential numbering for this field for all files of this record until I saw otherwise" simply having it be a check box that could be unselected at any time. The feature would take the previous number in the "record number" field from the previous record and just add 1 to it for the next record that was added using "add additional record" when adding an additional entry. The number can be changed manually at anytime but it will allow for the entry of records in mass easily at any time. This will save time and a step in the a push of a button.


For example. A record that has the record number being 273561, as that entries record number within the image to be indexed, and then the rest of the names in the image follow that pattern. Making the next entry 273562, and then 273563, 273564, and so on for as many records that are added until the number is changed or the box is unchecked.
