Unique ID Widget: Need multiple unique IDs on one form

HiI, I learned how to add a unique, sequential ID to a form using the Unique ID widget. However, I'm creating a vehicle registration form and users can register up to four vehicles. I will need a unique ID for EACH of their vehicles that is different than the others. When I use the Unique ID widget, it returns the same ID number for each of the four instances of the widget.

Is there a way to get a unique sequential ID for four different items on one form?

(You will notice above the Unique ID fields I was experimenting with using the Random Number widget as a way to generate different, unique IDs for each of the four items. But sequential numbers would be preferable.)

Hi Reggie,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I understand the issue, but I’ll need a bit of time to work out a solution. I’ll get back to you shortly.

Thanks for your patience and understanding. We appreciate it.

Hi Reggie,

Thanks for your patience. I’m sorry you're having difficulties with this. While the feature you’re looking for isn’t currently, available. We do have a workaround for it where you can pass the form information and the prefill it using the same form, and they can submit the information with one submission per vehicle. Or Embed the same form using iframe widgets up to 3 instances. Then add a dropdown asking how many cars to register. Then, using conditions, show the number of iframe widgets based on selected dropdown option. The limitation is that, the user need to re-type the information to the embedded forms. Let me show you how:

1. Open your form in Form Builder, then click on Publish in the orange navigation bar at the top of the screen.
2. Now, click on Prefill in the menu on the left side of the screen, and then select Form Prefill.
3. Select the form that you want to prefill from, then choose the fields you want to take data from.
4. Click on Save Settings, and that’s it.

Using Jotform's Conditions feature, you can create a number of conditions, like the ones you see below:

It's really easy to do, let me walk you through it:

1. Open your form in Form Builder, and in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on Settings.

2. In the menu on the left side of the page, click on Conditions.

3. Click on Add a New Condition and select a Condition Type.

4. In the If field, select the field that you want to trigger the condition.

5. Then, select a Field State.

6. In the Do field, select an action.

7. Now, select a field, click on Save, and you're done.

While the feature you’re looking for isn’t currently available, rest assured we’re always working to add new services and features to Jotform. I've gone ahead and escalated your request to our Developers. When or if it's implemented depends on their workload, how viable it is, and how many other users request it. If there are any updates, we’ll circle back to this thread and let you know.

Keep us updated and let us know if you need any more help.
