That is the beauty of hooks! They go a long way towards future-proofing customizations you make to plugin functionality.

Is there a way for GF to auto create the username for the student based off a predefined model?</p> <p>For example, the base model is 95512xxxx, so when a new user fills out a particular form, they would be assigned a username (aka Student ID) of 955120001, or however the increments work.</p> <p>TIA </p>
