can we add in the date to the unique ID? For example.
Unique ID - DATE - {User input capture from a text box in the form}

This is a re-post of a comment on How to Add Custom Unique IDs to your Form Submissions?

Do you mean, combine the DateTime field and Unique ID widget results into a single text box? Unfortunately, there's no way you can add the Unique ID into the equation.

A workaround for this would be to use our random value generator widget: http://widgets.jotform.com/widget/random_value_generator

This is the example I have: http://www.jotformpro.com/form/51264440430949.

This is how the fields are combined:

You need to check "Add field to equation as text by default" first before adding the fields into the equation area.
