Display Document ID column in Document Template
I have a requirement to display Custom Document ID column value in the Document Template when a new document is going to be created in the Library. How can I accomplish that?
- If it's an Office document you go to INSERT -> QUICK PARTS -> DOC PROPERTIES to insert column values.
The following guide is based on SharePoint Server but can serve as well for SharePoint online

Have just run into the same problem. We have set up a library with an inbuilt ID column, which generates the numbers automatically. However, the ID doesn't appear in the Quick Parts and not even in the Columns in Library settings.
Anyone has any suggestions?
Many thanks!
You'd add the ID column in the view settings not the library settings. Not all columns you see in a view configuration are presented to you in the library settings themselves.
As for the quick-parts, can you run a short test. Please upload a word doc to the actual document library and then open it from within said library. Once this has been done can you please check the quick parts and see if the SharePoint columns are available for use.
