We experienced an issue on non named id auto increment primary key.
I have created a bug report to our dev team.

I have a workaround while it’s being fixed.

On your .forestadmin-schema.json you can set your field like this

{
      "field": "cdtId",
      "type": "Number",
      "defaultValue": null,
      "enums": null,
      "integration": null,
      "isFilterable": true,
      "isPrimaryKey": true,
      "isReadOnly": true, // this is the change
      "isRequired": false, // here to 
      "isSortable": true,
      "isVirtual": false,
      "reference": null,
      "inverseOf": null,
      "validations": [] // make sure this is empty
    }

And set your NODE_ENV to something deferent than dev, to avoid the schema re-generation.

Thank for your quick reply:

The .forestadmin-schema.json is at the root of your project.

I have missed some change sorry.

Make sur you field is like this on your model

cdt: {
  type: DataTypes.INTEGER,
  primaryKey: true,
  autoIncrement: true,
}

Hi @Arnaud_Moncel

i added:

autoIncrement: true,

it works. I resovled the problem.

Thank you so much!
