Group By option for Record ID tool

I find the myself often needing to create unique IDs for a given category. Currently I end up using the multi row tool and leveraging the "group by" option. Enabling the record ID tool to create a unique count by grouping on distinct categories in an underlying data set would unlock an new level of grouping that would consolidate record keeping functionality in a single tool.

Maybe that don't achieve exactly your expected results, but did you try to use the Tile tool from the Preparation category?

 

That tool is not so common, but it is designed to create grouped IDs.
