Clippter assigns project numbers in the form P-YYYYMMDD-NNN (for example P-20260911-064). The sequence NNN counts up across days; it does not reset each morning.

Settings → Project workflow → Project numbering (/settings/project/numbering).
Tabs: Numbering | Project numbers.
Numbering tab
Current numbering shows Highest in this workspace and Next new project.
- Leave Starting number blank to continue automatically from the highest existing numbered project.
- Enter a Starting number only when migrating (for example you already used 63 elsewhere and the next should be 64). Preview shows If you save {sequence}, the next project would be: …
Save with Save numbering.
Project numbers tab
Lists Project, Number, Status. Edit a number and Save when you must fix a single project. Do that sparingly if finance or ops already track the old value.
Things that trip people up
- Setting a low Starting number that collides with numbers already in use.
- Renumbering live client projects without telling the team.
- Expecting the day part of the code to reset the counter each day (it does not).
