Document Name Setting — entity reference

Tenant configuration that switches on automatic document-name generation for one target entity: at save time the naming service composes series, date and sequence into the record field named by destinationFieldName, using dateFormat, autoNumberLength and concatenationCharacter to shape the result and allocating numbers from the DocumentName counter for the resolved series. The series prefix comes from the record field named by sourceSeriesField when configured (a calculated field's formula is evaluated on demand, and a dotted path can read across a relation), otherwise defaultSeries applies - and the fallback is silent, so a misconfigured series field shows up only as a wrongly prefixed document name. Lives in the metadata schema as tenant-authored configuration; only rows with isActive true take effect.
