Hi @esy_cari2020,

Would you mind having a look at the post (discussed earlier) that should solve your issue:

How do i create unique ID's that automate in KoBoToolbox?

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: [Image 1] 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!

Hello.
I want to manually assign each quiz an 8-digit, non-repeating ID number. Can KOBO avoid repeating?
Thanks

Sorry, we don’t have this function as a built-in function with KoBoToolbox.
