Hello,
I am trying to get a reference number to appear in my form. I have used the form processor as given here:
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/caldera-form-auto-generate-unique-code/
Once I submit the form, I am able to see the generated reference number with ease, but I cannot see it in the form. If I use any field, it will just display {keygen: key} in the field. What I would like to do is have a reference number generated before the form is submitted, as I would also like to have a HTML section that says:
"If you would like to send attachments, please email me@thisaddress.com, quoting reference [REFERENCE]."
In addition, when I submit the form, the AJAX feedback says {keygen:key} instead of the generated key. Is there a way of having a key generated before the form is submitted based on a predefined format? Perhaps something like ORD-YYMMDDXXX, where YYMMDD is the date and XXX is a randomly generated three character reference?
