AutoComplete

How to generate and display a unique consecutive ID for form submissions.

Overview

The user needs to create a unique, sequential reference number (like M40000001) for each form entry and display it, potentially for use in a login system.
First, create a database table for the form using CF's form manager and connect it with a 'db save' action to store submissions. Then, use the stored record ID or a custom sequential field as the reference number, which can be displayed in the form or used elsewhere by accessing the saved data.

Hi Mike,

v5 has an autocompleter demo form which you can check to understand how the auto completer works.

if you want to generate id and use it then it must be stored in the database, you can create a database table for your form (from the forms manager) then connect it to the form using a "db save" action.

Hi mikeolvera,

That depends on how you are going to create and maintain the number. The simplest - and least secure - solution is to save the data in he database and use the record id.

Hi mikeolvera,

I don't know where you add it - you haven’t said where you want to show the number.
