    I would like each of my submissions to have an ID number associated with it. I know the calculated forms has ID numbers but they are related to the row in the database. I would like to write an equation that the value of a particular field would increase by one after each submission giving each format on unique ID number.

    For example, the first submission would be 100, and then after the next form is submitted and the value would be 101 etc. etc.

    How do I write an equation that calls upon the value of a previous form?

    Hello @astima

    To generate a unique customized ID per submission instead of the item number included with the plugin, you must use server-side code. This code must keep an updated record in the database to know the last number used.

    More information about the server side equations by reading the following blog post:

    The server side equations are included with the Developer and Platinum versions of the plugin and we are not allowed to support any customers in these forums.
