Adrian, No, you cannot create a scheduled transaction with a formula in the Num field.
There is no direct workaround. The simplest thing to do would be to schedule the transaction without the Num field entry and manually update the created transaction each time. You need only select the Num field in the transaction, type + to insert the next number, and <enter> to commit the edit. Otherwise you’d need to program the insertion with either the python bindings or with an external access library like PyCash.
