For one of our projects we did proceed with using the _uuid as the unique identifier - However it appears that when you edit some information in the form and resubmit, the _uuid changes. Should this be the case or is this the bug?

The _id seems to stay consistent so we may have to reroute all our links to that but would be great to have confirmation before we start this messy process!

Could you share the related part of your form how you use uuid() and two screenshots to show the critical change, please?

You might also use once(uuid()) to keep it in an own variable. This would also allow to show it to the enumerator. I am not sure if using uuid() as default works too…

Side-note: I would like to recommend pretesting the whole process before starting fieldwork, incl. editing, export, import/transfer into other tools. etc.
