Auto Generation

    Hi, code newbie here.

    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.

    For example if Jane Smith submitted the 8th form entry, the hidden id would be JS-00008.

    Hope this makes sense. Thank you for any help!

    Random number generation isn't a built in feature. It can be done but only by dynamically populating a field. Here is a forum post that discusses this:

    There is also a tutorial in the How To section of the Documentation that explains how to dynamically populate a field.
