Hi @segosal279,
Very clear!
So, just to be clear, your incrementing ID number is going to be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc. But that will be from each device, correct? So you’ll end up having multiple ‘1’ IDs, multiple ‘2’ IDs, etc. Am I understanding that correctly?
last-saved only works for each unique device, so, for example, you won’t be creating unique ID values across all devices.
I wonder if there is a way to combine something like auto-incrementing number (per device, as from your example), and then concatenate that with date and deviceid/collectid, for example, to create a unique identifier across all devices?
Anyway, that’s something to think about, and maybe you have thought about that already, but now on to transferring that ID number from one form to another. If you want to essentially ‘copy’ data from one form to another form, dynamic data attachments allows you to ‘connect’ two (or more) forms together, like parent and child forms.
However, in order to do this, you need to essentially have your ‘ID’ number input into the ‘child’ form, and then the child form will be able to ‘lookup’ that ID number in the parent form and pull over the data from that parent form into the child form.
So in essence, you’d need to enter the ID number into the child form. You cannot have a ‘lookup’ field in the child form that would allow you to scroll through all the ID numbers in the parent form and choose the one you want.
Does that make sense? The documentation for dynamic data attachments is here, and here is a video tutorial walking you through it.
Not sure if this helps, but let us know if it provides a solution!
