@janna

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?

@janna, @segosal279 this post discussed previously should be able to help you get a unique id using both the last-saved function and the concat function:

@jessicanon, maybe you could do it as outlined in the image shared below: In the survey tab of your XLSForm: [Image 1] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: When nothing is entered [Image 2] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: When the name is entered [Image 3] Data entry screen as seen in Enketo: Now for other entries, you will not need to enter anything [Image 4] Reference XLSForm: Last Saved.xlsx (10.0 KB)
