Can JotForm automatically generate a unique number and save it to a separate field?

    My client wants to create a membership intake form for a "VIP Club." She would like the form to automatically generate a unique membership number and save it to a field that would be labeled "membership ID", or something similar. Can this be done with JotForm? Many thanks for your help!

    Sincerely,

    Robb Auspitz

    I think your looking for a random number generator.

    You might want to try some simple java script to do what you want like;

    This example creates a 5 or 6 digit number.

    <html>

    <body>

    <p>Click the button to display a random number </p>

    <button onDISABLEDclick="myFunction()">Try it</button>

    <p id="mynumber"></p>

    <script>

    function myFunction() {

        var x = document.getElementById("mynumber")

        x.innerHTML = Math.floor((Math.random() *900000) + 10000);

    }

    </script>

    </body>

    </html>
