Lets say you have a table with 1000 records and the ID field is autoincrement. If you import that table and make Knack recognize that field as autoincrement, will the next new record be 1001?

If you’re importing into a table that has an Auto Increment field starting a 1-1000 the next record will be 1001 irrespective of what you do on the import as the Auto Increment has no user parameters to set.
