Maintain a variable and increment each time you loop.

Hi
Welcome to UiPath community
We can use any loop like while or For each loop
Let’s take like while loop and out the condition like this
Counter < 10
Where Counter is a variable of type int32 with a default value defined as 0 in the variable panel

Now inside the loop use a use your value

Like this
Now.Year.ToString+”_”+Counter.ToString

And atlast in the while loop use a assign activity to increment that value like this
Counter = Counter +1

Hope this would help you

you were almost done
keep the message box inside the while loop and try once
make sure that the Unique_Id is with value
Now.Year.ToString+“_”+counter.ToString

@sanjeevSB

The activities you used to enter details into the form also should be inside the loop but not outside.

Thanks, that was the mistake.
