Hi Grey,
​
in Chronoform V4 you created an Action UniqueID

​
Have you some solution or suggests for Chronoform V6?
​
In that post you tell that you developed a solution for V5.
Thanks

Hi indiana71,
​
I haven't yet built any CFV6 action - I'm not sure how they are supposed to work :-(

Bob {uuid:} gives you a functionally unique code the chances of it giving the same value twice are idiotically slim.

Hi healyhatman,
​
I understand that - my action for the previous versions allowed you to create a short user-friendly unique string with a predefined structure e.g. AY1234BZ That can be helpful if people need to use it.

Fair enough🙂 shouldn't be hard to just make your own code surely OP?

Hi healeyhatman,
​
The basics of the code from the old version should still work - what takes the time is working out how to add that into an action that can be installed into CFv6. From my initial looks that has changed quite a bit from the previous versions. I probably need a couple of clear days to build the first one and work through all the wrinkles.
