Numerate / Numbering / Sequential numbers / Number sequence / Auto-serialize
As a function of the transform tool, or perhaps a tool in it's own right, a feature to numerate copies in sequence and/or apply fully scanning bar or QR codes. E.g. raffle tickets, concert tickets, coupons, vouchers, etc.
This would be invaluable as a time-saving measure, and allow an artist/designer to keep something like tickets completely in-house. I've been working with Illustrator for 15 years, and to my knowledge there's no feature that does anything like this. When I design concert or raffle tickets I have to use a 3rd party vendor, pretty much just for the bar code and sequencing. The ability to number things seems like a natural extension of the Transform tool.
MAKE IT SO!
Spok, out.

Request for an auto serialize numbers and text function. To step and repeat while changing.
We set up many different styles of decals that are numbered or lettered in order.
Parking Passes 1-1,000.We create a layout for 1 but then have to manually put them in 1,000 times on each layout.
I would love to take one layout and have it step and repeat it with the ability to change one of the lines of text.

Danuta, there is a script you can use on a selection of text objects, to force it to become a sequence of numbers derived from the first number is the first text object (by the order in Layers panel). I use all the time!
Just remove it to .jsx file (UV does not allow scripts files attached directly) and drop it in Illustrator with a selection of text objects.

sequential numbers for illustrator like in design you can do it.

Until some solution is implemented, use great 'Fixing Sequential Numbers' script. I guess you'll be able to figure how it can help you, with a 15 years of practice.
