Form generated number for user

You can generate a unique number using Gravity User Registration AddOn + Unique Number :
https://gravitywiz.com/documentation/gravity-forms-unique-id/
https://www.gravityforms.com/add-ons/user-registration/

But what are you expecting to do when the user “comes back” ?
Do you mean you are going to present a form on the website that only asks for the number, and on submit the rest of the form is displayed with this info ?
It’s not clear on your process.

Hi,
thank you so much! I′ve heard of gravity.
Regarding your question. It is a bit complicated.
My clients want to sell personalized tips for travelling.
How they want to do it is – let the customers fill out the form and based on the response they send them the feedback. But if the customer comes back it shouldnt be necessary to fill it again. They kind of want it to be prefilled after he inserts the number. I would say maybe it would be easier in a profile section, but that′s just not what they want.
If you had any more tips I would appreaciate it, but still huge thanks for your response.

You could do it using custom hook and actions based on something like this :

But I would not recommend that at all.

Take a look at Membership Mngt plugins like this :
https://ultimatemember.com/features/

It’s a full product in order to scale your site, scale your members, manage members, etc.

Sure, today the client says “We just want to be able to this”.
Then 4 months from now, you don’t have anything done bc the client keeps coming back saying, “Oh ya, we also need this and this and this and this”.
Ya know ?
Find a reputable plugin that will do all the heavy lifting for you – then create your own hooks for their “customizations”, ie. :

Thank you once more! I will try that.
Ah, it is as you say.
Sometimes it′s just hard to know when to stop doing what my clients want and when to do it – because maybe they know something I don′t.
Thank you for bringing a bit of confidence in my life.
Hope you have great holidays.

Lo, yes no problem.
With a client like this – I try to get the finer details of the *what they want to accomplish*. What’s the *business* process that they want their customer to achieve.
As web developers, we need to try to not let the client dictate the technology – they provide you with the business process or business goal – and we provide them with the technical process and implement that.
What is the unique number for ?
How does the customer get this number ?
Why do we need to pre-fill a form based on this number ?
Can we use Coupon Codes that are unique to each member, and also handled and managed within a Membership plugin ?
Do different Member Roles need a prefix to their unique number ?
Can the user edit this number ?

It goes on and on and on. Custom solutions usually ending up sucking the life out of you. We need configurable and extensible solutions.

Enjoy the hols! ??
