getNextObjNumberPadded(); auto-numbering issues...

getNextObjNumberPadded();
was not returning the latest number but one that already existed

i've managed to fix this by going to
/nav_to.do?uri=sys_number_counter.do?sys_id=<as per the table in question>

see my community post on the topic

GlideRecord setValue

setValue(String name, Object value) Sets the specified field to the specified value. Normally a script would do a direct assignment, for example,  gr.category = value . However, if in a script the element name is a variable, then  gr.setValue(elementName, value)  can be used. When setting a value, ensure the data type of the field matches the data type of the value you enter. This method cannot be used on journal fields. If the value parameter is null, the record is not updated, and an error is not thrown https://developer.servicenow.com/app.do#!/api_doc?v=madrid&id=r_GlideRecord-setValue_String_Object
