    Hi,

    No, it's not encouraging to change the post ID of WordPress. The post ID is auto-increment and unique for each post so you do not need to change it. You can create a custom field and add any field type to the posts if you want to distinguish them.

    Hi, you're right, I'm actually asking about create another set of running numbers with auto-increment function, is that possible to do by using metabox?

    Hi,

    There is no field auto-increment for the post like ID. I think you can create a text field then update it after creating a post with the format prefix_postID.

    Refer to this documentation https://docs.metabox.io/actions/#rwmb_after_save_post
