Can we use a Unique Question with a Quick Tools Number Field?

    We would like to use a Quick Tools number field to assign a minimum and maximum value, but we also want this field to be our Unique Question (it's a form ID). What we're finding is the Quick Tools number field doesn't show up as an option for the Unique Question in the Preferences section. We are forced to make it a text field and then assign it to be numeric. However, then we lose the flexibility of assigning a minimum and maximum value.

    I tried deleting the field and search for a widget that might offer more capability. Found a Unique ID widget, but it said I had to delete what was there already. I did. But it kept giving me the same message.

    Can you help us. We are sending out a mailer to each of our customers with a Unique ID that they must enter to order their free anniversary gift.

    I tried what you said, but it's not working. I think you may have it turned around. We want the Order ID# field to be the unique question so they cannot submit a form with the same Order ID# more than one time. We have there also to be a minimum value (10000) and a maximum value (55500) for the Order ID#. So the Order ID# field must be a text field to allow me to choose in Preference the option to make it a Unique Question. Then the hidden text field with conditions that you mentioned, I tried that with the min and max number, but it's not working. Can you look at what I've done.

    I tested your clone of our form, and it's allowing me to enter the same Order ID# more than one time. I filled out the form once with an Order ID# of 12345 and submitted. Then I filled out another form and entered 12345 and it allow me to continue filling it out. Your first example didn't do this.
