    Hi,

    I was wondering, if I have a person that I would like to fill in multiple forms as different times are we able to autofill a unique ID? 

    For example, person fills in the user details form, I read that it can autofill one form, if I read the Session Parameter Method correctly.. however I would like this person to fill in another form and another form and still have the unique ID autofilled for the form - is this possible? and let's say 3 months later, I create another form and would like to still have the unique ID autofilled, is this possible?

    Thanks!

    Unfortunately, a unique ID cannot be transferred or filled in by users. The unique ID values are only generated once the form is submitted.

    Let us know if you are referring to something else.

    Hi, what I mean by unique ID - like an employee number this way the person will not have to fill in their name and surname as we will have their info from their employee number. Thanks!

    If you want to pass the unique ID/employee number to another form after they submit the first form then you can use the URL parameters for this.

    Here's the guide:

    Can you please review the guides mentioned and see if that's what you are referring to?
