I have tried to use the "Ticket ID" approach and with each new entry this Ticket ID is indeed increased automatically...

But when the last Entry (with the highest Ticket ID i.e. ID-0009) is move to another Logbook, the Ticket ID in the next new entry will be "ID-0009" again (based upon the last previous entry "ID-0008").

So this appraoch will also re-produce duplicate Ticket IDs.

Is it possible to have the Ticket ID preset with value based upon the Date & Time of the entry? Instead of holding a Date/Time format, use a calculated numeric format?

This way, each new entry will have a truely unique Ticket ID.

Thanks & Regards, Barend 

Why do you move the last ticket in a logbook at all? The move functionality was more meant as an archive option, where you can archive old entries on an annual basis or so. If you just want to "close" a ticket for example, an attribute "Status" with options "open" and "close" will do it. Together with a quick filter you can easily show only open entries in an logbook that way.
