I have searched the support forum for this but not found exactly what I am after. I'm pretty sure this must have been asked...
I would like to generate a unique number after say 3 characters on a form that would be recorded in the database and sent on a conformation email to the person who submitted it. Something like "RET123456". Obviously this would be different to each person filling the form in.
Thank you for your help in advance
The entry ID is unique across all forms. You can combine the entry ID with a string of your choice (like RET) and use that in your notifications if you like. Is that unique enough for you? Here is how we did it the last time:

If not, we've also created unique IDs like this:

Sure. Let us know if you need any help customizing that code.
