How to make Unique Number field value visible

Hi,

On my form 52745887899988 I have a unique number field (#input_19). I have tried to injecting css to make it visible with no luck.

I also tried creating a new field with condition to copy the unique value + 1 into it but that didn't capture the unique number value.

As I understand it the unique value is not created until the submit button is used then it increments by 1 from the last value.

Is there anyway to display what the value will be when submitted? I can see there would be a conflict if two or more people are filling the form at the same time. So perhaps this is not possible.

Thank you,

Robert

Hi,

I think I found the answer in a older thread. Unique-Number-which-can-be-displayed

Not possible

Unless you can offer an option I will just go with what I have.

It is not possible to show a Unique ID field on the form. The field is hidden by default. Also, the unique value will be generated when the form is submitted. 

There is a workaround and for this workaround you will have to use a basic field that will contain default 'start' value of your Unique ID field, Submission counter widget and Form Calculation widget. 

You can calculate a basic field and submission counter widget and display a result in the calculation widget that will represent a value that a Unique ID field will generate.

Feel free to test it and clone it. 

Hope this meet what you are looking for. 

Hi,

Thank you for the option. I don't see this working for the same reasons. It will fall out of step if people submit at the same time. I think I will go with what I have.

best regards,
