Add contact ID

Question

Hi all,
I am trying to find solution to add unique identifier for each contact that exists and that will be added in the future (db is v14). I had no luck so far, I see that here is some kind of solution but it's not explained  https://www.odoo.com/forum/help-1/how-to-add-a-customer-id-64724 [1]
Can anyone please help. Thank you.

You can create sequence.
Then you can assign this sequence using automated action  on create or edit or on change of specific field.

Each contact already has an internal odoo id, so you could just create a new view on the contact showing that field.
