API: Jotform JSon data retrievalace element reference

Hi,

 

We are facing an issue with clearly identifying data which we retrieve in the Json string.

 

The issue is that there are certain form elements that do not contain a label or multiple form elements that contain the same label.

In each of these cases we can only identify the field value by mapping it to a parent_ID.

This does not work very well because, when we make a change to a form, the parent_ID’s changes at times. It is also a difficult task to map these IDs in the first place.

 

The ideal would be for us to be able to enter a logical name against an element on the form and then this logical name to be included in the Json data.

 

If there are way we can achieve this?

 

 

 

Kind Regards

 

 

Which API call is this related to? 

When you get form questions list you will get IDs for each questions. Those IDs should never change:

"Hi Is there any way to get an ID to those fields of the form --    in the design side."

Yes, here is the steps:

1. Select the question and click on setup button for the question, and select Show Properties. 

2. You will see the question ID at the very bottom:
