It can be done but only by dynamically populating a field. Here is a forum post that discusses this:</p> <p><a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id#post-3993" rel="nofollow">http://www.gravityhelp.com/forums/topic/guid-entry-id#post-3993</a></p> <p>There is also a tutorial in the How To section of the Documentation that explains how to dynamically populate a field. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/auto-generation#post-35097 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 16:47:14 +0000 manonmichel 35097@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Hi, code newbie here. </p> <p>Is there a way to auto-generate a serial number, or id with configured letter/number sequence in a hidden field when a form has been submitted. For instance, when a form has been submitted, take the user's first character of their first name and first character of their last name, add a sequential number.</p> <p>For example if Jane Smith submitted the 8th form entry, the hidden id would be JS-00008.</p> <p>Hope this makes sense. Thank you for any help! </p>
