Random Assigned Dynamiic Number

[Halo242]

Im just wondering, there is a hidden field option. Is it possible to make that hidden field assign a dynamically generate number string? Like a unique identifier with parameter for the form submission. Like for example when i receive the form it is assigned “AB-13001” and then the next form I receive is assigned “AB-13002”. Please advise. This would be really useful for a project im working on.

Thank you

Im sorry for the dealy on this.
I tried this and did not return anything it only returned the value AB-{entity_id}

Dont mean to go off topic…I accidentally deleted my database that held the form I made. It was a long form and I spent about 4 hours on it. I never exported the code however I still have a sample page of that form on screen. Obviously If I hit edit it wont be there but have the output code from the page is there a way to extract the form out of it without having to rebuild this form?

I too am interested in something very similar… is there a way to generate the next number in sequence based on what exists in the entry list? I would like this number to be autogenerated on form submission for each entry.

Thank you! BTW, sweet plugin! Just what i was in need of!

Would it be possible to have a form submit the data, then display a confirmation page which shows the submitted data as well as the associated {entry-id}? This would create a nice workflow because this means the entry-id has allocated to that record upon submitting the form, otherwise, if you have two different people entering data simultaneously, there may be a conflict if it displays the next available entry-id prior to submitting.

Hmm, interesting…that worked perfectly! Is there a way to pass more than one variable in the $SESSION? For instance like First name, Last name, etc.?
