Question

The Docs cover reserving a ListItemId here but I can't see any examples in this documentation or else where online covering how to use this reserved id when the ListItem is being created.

I have tried a few different ways but I either run into an error when I try to specify the id or end up the next id rather than the one I reserved.

There really are not as it's not currently implemented in the library as we really don't have any use cases for it, it's just not something that is necessary as far as we know, but certainly you may know something we don't. Can you elaborate on what you're trying to accomplish?

Thank you for getting back to me.

We were trying to do the following:

• Get the next id
• Create a user identifier e.g., Form-00001
• Save that along with the other required info as part of the V1 in the ListItem’s version history

What we are currently doing:

• Saving item to SharePoint (V1)
• Get ListItem Id
• Create a user identifier e.g., Form-00001
• Update the item in SharePoint (V2)

We investigated using column formatting to generate the identifier however, some of our identifier formats have multiple placeholders which we want to avoid adding to the list. e.g. Form/USA/FL/22/00001

Why not a calculated column? Or a second update (you're already making two calls) once you have the id?
