I got some guiadance on how to create a unique serial number from this link; Creating Unique Serial Numbers in Forms — KoBoToolbox documentation, but it kept bringing me errors when trying to preview but also refused to deploy. I realized that it was just a matter of adding dollar signs to each of the variables in the calculation field; concat({Q1_C}, ‘-’, {Q2_C}, ‘-’, {Q3_C}, ‘-’, {Q4_C}, ‘-’, ${Q5})-this didnt work, but when i added Dollar signs as seen here: concat(${Q1_C}, ‘-’, ${Q2_C}, ‘-’, ${Q3_C}, ‘-’, ${Q4_C}, ‘-’, ${Q5}) - It worked.

Dear Doc Team,
Maybe a QA procedure could be great that all examples in the documentation are tested before publishing.? (At least with online validator.)
