Hmm since i limit entries on all forms i suppose i could just export it to Calc and then use the row numbers as the id numbers, sorry just thinking out loud. Thanks again! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-each-form-to-start-entry-id-at-1#post-15263 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 16:12:31 +0000 Carl Hancock 15263@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>No, this isn't possible. The entry id is a database generated id for the row. All entries are stored in the same database table. The entry id is sequential across all forms. If you wanted an alternate id number that was sequential you would have to add a hidden field to your form and write custom PHP to populate the hidden field with the id, querying the entries to check how many exist and incrementing the number. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/getting-each-form-to-start-entry-id-at-1#post-15260 Fri, 31 Dec 2010 15:23:57 +0000 prizeblade 15260@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am having a bit of trouble, when i create new forms or duplicate existing form templates i have created, the entry ID does not start with 1. Is there a way i can get them to start at 1 or create a hidden field that increments a number? (i would prefer using the hidden field) just wondering if this feature is already available in gravity forms and i have just not discovered it yet. Thanks! </p>
