I want to auto-generate a unique identity number to each form and it should be visible on the form when the enumerator opens a new form to take data. Please let me know.
Hi @rahul_521 ,
There are some posts you can check to do create Unique id’s: If no one of those fit your needs, let us know
Hi @scherrie ,
You could also have a look at this workaround which uses date-time stamp to auto generate a unique id for your survey form.
In the survey tab of your xlsform:

In the setting tab of your xlsform: Please note that this is optional (if and in-case you wish to name your survey submissions based on the unique id).

Have a great day!
Hi @tanzilhuda ,
Please see the attached (slightly edited and refined version) xlsform where @Xiphware and @azadkhan had contributed significantly. It should now work smoothly even in the group in Enketo, KoBoCollect as well as ODKCollect.
In the survey tab of the xlsform:

In the choices tab of the xlsform:
