@daizy, Search your doctype in doctype list. In Naming Option Auto Name field is there, set naming series or fildname in that field.

daizy · September 21, 2016, 10:20am

There’s no field as Auto Name.
It was There at the time of creation of the Doctype but not now.

And my problem is i dont want to name the Doctype.

@daizy
you are checking in Customize form. Please Open your Doctype from Setup > Doctype.
There is field Auto name. set with any field from your Doctype.
See below screenshot -

Here My Doctype is Post Code, as you see there is field post_code. So, I used it as my auto name > field:post_code.
Check at the bottom of the screenshot.

How can I put a validation for the same so that No employee can have two or more than two Joining Document
Please Look on my 2nd Problem too Posted above with this.!

@daizy

There is one option unique. You can add this to employee field. Open your doctype and check unique. See below screen shot.

or you can add the custom script for that.

daizy · September 21, 2016, 12:20pm

Sir please look into my other problem too

Sangram · September 21, 2016, 12:53pm

write a custom script for that sees following script:

frappe.ui.form.on('Employee', {
	refresh: function(frm) {
		cur_frm.add_custom_button(__('Joining Document'), function() {
			frappe.new_doc("Joining Document");
		}) 
	}
});

here I considered Joining Document is your Doctype. Replace with proper name and try.
for more details about custom script go through following link.

I have already Created a Joining Document for an Employee but the “make” button isnt changing to “view” Button i.e. the page isnt executing the “if” condition it is directly going to else condition. What I have tried is Similar to the Job Applicant Module but in former case cant change the button to view
Please help regarding the following code:

if (!cur_frm.doc.__islocal) {
if (cur_frm.doc.__onload && cur_frm.doc.onload.joining_document) {
cur_frm.add_custom_button((“Joining Document”), function() {

                frappe.set_route("Form", "Joining Document", frm.doc.__onload.joining_document);
        },
        __("View"));
        }
        else {
            cur_frm.add_custom_button(__("Joining Document"), function() {
                frappe.route_options = {
                    "joining_document": cur_frm.doc.name,
                    "employee": cur_frm.doc.Employee,
                    "employee_name": cur_frm.doc.employee_name,
                    //"designation": cur_frm.doc.job_opening,
                };
                    frappe.new_doc("Joining Document");

                }, __("Make"));
                cur_frm.page.set_inner_btn_group_as_primary(__("Make"));
        }
    }
    },
