AI generated property description:

The ServiceNow property `glide.itil.assign.number.on.insert` is designed to assign a task number only when a record is inserted into the database, which helps in preventing gaps in numbering. According to the documentation, this property ensures that task numbers are not pre-assigned during the creation process but are instead assigned only upon the actual insertion of the record. This approach is beneficial in scenarios where records might be created but not saved, as it prevents the allocation of task numbers to records that are never finalized. By enabling this property, organizations can maintain a more consistent and gap-free sequence of task numbers. This property is particularly useful in environments where task number continuity is critical for tracking and auditing purposes.
