Orders - field crew updates order, add modifier

Howdy ya'll

im just a simple country rancher trying to make an app for our work.  

i have a question about when a user makes a change to a work order 

the question is.. 

if a crew member makes a change to the work order, we want it to upon update, to add "-1,-2,-3" etc after the work order number to designate the revision number they are going off of. 

if ya'll have any help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thats fairly easy to do. Just create a column "Revision" for example and then select Column Data Type in the dropdown menu as ChangeCounter

thank you for the reply, i am still getting used to the layout of this fourms 

i had posted the same question elsewhere, and i composed a response , both parties have different solutions and now i have more details on my project 

Follow up question , see attached Work order table screen capture 

i am still figuring out the layout or flow. 
here is my thought process 

the "order key" = is generated auto 

the "Order ID" = a "prefix" based user account creation, Then a unique 6 digit number // this will be what is displayed and this is where we would want to add the -1,-2,-3 etc  (but is a child to "order key")

"Order-Active Version" = True / False 

as the orders are edited, we want to archive/log the change, meaning we want to be able to go back and see what the original order was and its history  

again, im very new to coding myself, i have worked with DEVOs before leading projects but i didn't codeScreenshot 2022-02-17 114111.png

If you want a change log, then you'll have to create another table for the log. This can be achieved by either:

  1. Let users create changes as new rows in the Log table, then using automation, upon each creation of a new row, the fields get reflected in your ORDERS table. This is what I'd prefer. 
    or,

  2. Create a grouped action for your orders table that will first copy the Order row as a new row in the Log table, then let user modify the Order.
