I am not sure where to begin to on Auto Incrementing in a form. I’ve done it on-prem but NWC looks so different and can’t seem to compare the two to begin building in Nintex Workflow Cloud…
Does anyone know or have steps to create an auto increment for a form ?
Please help?

Just to get clarification, what are you trying to auto increment? Repeating section lines?
Sorry, I did fail to mention that part… I am wanting to apply an auto increment numbering system to a form that will be auto applied when a new form is ready to be filled in SharePoint Online.
I want to apply something like below...

Do you need for it to show up on a new form? Or could the Contract Number be assigned after the form is submitted?
If the later works, you could have actions at the beginning of the workflow to build a string for the Contract Number and then update the Contract Number column in the list with the string built.
Either or works!
I’m completely green to Nintex (forms and workflows) and trying to figure out but could you provide steps to this approach?
I really do appreciate your time!
Thanks!

I recommend using a workflow to do the heavy lifting of creating and update the Contract Number. Try these steps to accomplish your scenario:
1. Create a workflow on your list.
2. Configure the Settings of the workflow to run when an item is created.
3. Add and configure a Build String action.
4., Add and configure an Update List Item action.
This will create a unique Contract Number that combines your state prefix and the unique item ID.
OMGSH, I cannot thank you enough on this!! This worked out perfectly for what I needed! This has taken taken me weeks to try and figure out but you really did help in explaining and understanding the logic to this, thanks again!
You're AMAZING!
