Can I use the Unique ID widget for Save and Continue feature?

Hi, I've set up my two forms with the first populating the second with the applicant's name and email so that users can save their form part of the way through the 8 pages of form2. However I don't want the user to be linked with their name or email as many users will need to fill out the same form for different applications.

To address this I added an unique ID to the first form hoping that the unique ID would solve this issue and used this as the session URL both from the thankyou page and the responder email. But alas it still seems the form continues to be linked with their name and/or email and when they go to fill a second application in they get all the same details added from their first application.

I perhaps am missing a step? I don't have a field for the matching unique number on my second form - perhaps this needs to be done? But I couldn't find any threads that discussed this? Any thoughts?

Thanks

Hello,

I was not able to understand what you're trying to achieve. Do you have any sample form that is almost the same on what you're trying to create that we can check?

Here are some related features that you can check:

Hi, I managed to fix a few of the issues myself but there is still a few glitches that I would like some assistance with.
Here is what I want to do.
1. Enable save functionality on forms
2. Enable the same user to fill in multiple applications
I have built 2 forms. The first is a simple user application as suggested on your web page and I linked this to the second form (application) originally using the unique number widget. But the form 1 linked using the applicants email and the unique number didn’t really appear to do anything and it kept self filling the forms with a previous users details – not ideal.
To fix this I used a few other fields to link the forms (Bait type and cell name) and removed the unique number widget. This appears to be working better but once a user fills in a few pages of the second form and decides they wish to exit after pressing the next button any image files they have uploaded don’t appear to remain appended to the application they have to reupload these. Is there a way to retain the upload?
Here is the link to the first form: https://form.jotform.co/93070062448858
I also wanted to have a progression bar on the second form (I tried breadcrumbs and progress bar) but they trip the form out so it cant progress beyond the first page. I’ve removed them for now. What I would really prefer is simply the page numbers at the bottom showing what page they are on and how many pages are in the form in total. Is there a way to do that?
Thanks,
Michelle

I did check your form #93070062448858 and found the issue on why the data is not being saved in session. You have added the following URL in auto-responder to create session:

https://form.jotform.co/92458066667874?&email10={email}&name[first]={name:first}&name[last]={name:last}&baitsRequired={baitsRequired}&baitCell113={baitcell}&session={submission_id}

You seems to be using {submission_id} which is not correct and it will not return any value. Since session URL which not have any id or text to create session. I would suggest you to please use email address or any other field to build session URL. If you want to use session ID to build URL, you need to use {id} instead of {submission_id}.

Do try it out and get back to us if the issue persists.
