WPForms Smart Tag for Sequential Unique ID for Each Form Entry

Hey @2204media – Thanks for reaching out!

To help you get started, you can consider using following code snippet:

function wpf_dev_update_total_field( $fields, $entry, $form_data ) {
    // Only run on my form with ID = 15092
    if( $form_data['id'] != 15092 ) {
        return $fields;
    }

    // Count the entries so far and increment the hidden field count by 1 on each submit
    $entry_count = wpforms()->entry->get_entries( array( 'form_id' => 15092 ), true ) + 1;
    $formatted_count = sprintf('%03d', $entry_count);
    $fields[3]['value'] = 'abc-' . $formatted_count;

    return $fields;
}
add_filter( 'wpforms_process_filter', 'wpf_dev_update_total_field', 10, 3 );

In the above code, please be sure to replace form and field ID.

This is how the result should show on the confirmation page when you add the code.

Kindly,

Hi @prashantrai, Thanks for your reply.

I’m not sure you you fully understood my request, so let me explain further.

I want to use the unique ID smart tag as a default value in a visible field. I want it to be visible when printing any entry. The form will only be filled by admin so they know that they should not adjust the value while filling the form.

I hope this explanation helps. Thanks
