Q: Can i create a unique ID for every form submission
Hi,
Say i am making form for a school and as and when the form is submitted by students, unique id should be generated with each form, kind of like auto-incrementing number. Is it possible with deftform? For instance, popular form builder Jotform has this concept of unique id. I have noticed that most form builders that came to appsumo dont have even this simple concept. I hope deft form has this.
Note: The Unique ID widget lets you attach an alphanumeric code to every form submission you receive. With a unique identifier for every booking, purchase, or order, it’s easier to organize submissions and quickly access them in your records.

Can you please send an email to support@deftform.com and provide a more detailed example of what you need? I guess it shouldn't be too complicated to add to Deftform.
