Sequential numbering on the Forminator form submission suddenly stopped working

    At the moment I use the Forminator free plugin and e2PDF plugin for responding to the submitted form. The sequential numbering on the form submission suddenly stopped working a few days ago. The forms submitted up to the 3rd of July 2023 were working fine, then the forms submitted from the 6th onwards stopped using the numbering – instead showing the macro text on the hidden field. The support WPMU DEV team supplied me with a custom snippet a couple of years ago: Here is the php code which was added to the mu-plugins folder in the site files

    <?php

add_filter( 
	'forminator_custom_form_submit_field_data',
	function( $field_data_array, $form_id ){

		// We're using a custom macro <code>AUTOINCREMENT_INT</code> set as value for a field.
		// Make sure you add this value only in hidden fields
		$needle      = 'AUTOINCREMENT_INT';
		$incremental = get_post_meta( $form_id, 'autoincrement_int', true );
		$update_meta = false;

		foreach ( $field_data_array as $key => $field_data ) {
			if ( isset( $field_data[ 'value' ] ) && $needle === $field_data[ 'value' ] ) {

				if ( ! $incremental ) {
					$incremental = 1;
				} else {
					$incremental++;
				}

				$field_data_array[$key][ 'value' ] = $incremental;
				$update_meta                       = true;
			}
		}

		if ( $update_meta ) {
			update_post_meta( $form_id, 'autoincrement_int', $incremental );
		}

		return $field_data_array;
	},
	20, 
	2
);

add_filter(
	'forminator_custom_form_mail_admin_message',
	function( $message, $custom_form, $data, $entry ){
		$incremental = get_post_meta( $custom_form->id, 'autoincrement_int', true );
		if ( is_numeric( $incremental ) ) {
			$message = str_replace( 'AUTOINCREMENT_INT', $incremental, $message );	
		}
		return $message;
	},
	10,
	4
);

    In the Forminator form, I added a Hidden field which has the Type as Custom, and this macro was added as the value – AUTOINCREMENT_INT;

    In the e2PDF I added a new HTML field and mapped it to {hidden-1}. Every new submission was automatically numbered by +1 in the field I added in the PDF invoice, as well as the Forminator Submissions section of the form. Here is the quick video I was given https://monosnap.com/file/OKEqRE2kkXwVyuCqCrRUXpsUSse1lM. So basically I am reaching out to see if anyone else is having this problem or if anyone has a solution.
