How to create an ID with consecutive numbering for a specific form

Hi dervn,

Thank you for contacting us. I understand your request. The entry ID will keep increasing globally, but to differentiate it from another form’s entry ID, you can include the form name alongside the entry ID in the title section. Please refer to the attached screenshot for guidance.

To view entries of a specific form, you can easily filter them using the table navigation. I’ve provided a screenshot to demonstrate this.

I hope this helps clarify the process. If you have any more questions, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help!

Hello. Thanks for your reply. Yes, I already knew that I could filter the entries of a specific form for display, but my question was about whether there was the possibility of generating a consecutive numbering ID for entries of a specific form, different from the shortcode [mf_id] that is applied to all entries. I want to know if it is possible to include a consecutive numbering ID in the subject of the confirmation message that arrives in the email of the user who filled out the form, something like a shift number.
I would appreciate it if you could give me some idea of ??how to generate this ID.
Regards.

Hi dervn,

Hope you are doing fine. Currently, it is not possible to generate a consecutive numbering ID for entries of a specific form. Please add this as a feature request. We are continuously working on improving our plugin by adding more new features according to our customers’ needs. To do the feature request please go to the plugin details page. Under the USEFUL LINKS section you will find Request a Feature link.

Hello, I have another question. Is there a way to reset the Metform post ID [mf_id]? I finished building my website in a test zone and migrated it to its final hosting service. However, even though I deleted the test entries, the entry count continued at the next number after the last test entry, and I need the new form entry count to start from “1”. I have looked for a way to reset the consecutive numbering of the ID of the entries but I have not found the MetForm database table. Is there a way to reset the ID of the entries?
I hope you can give me some idea how to do this.
Regards

Hi dervn,

I hope you’re doing well. I understand your request. If you delete the entries from both the database and the dashboard, the numbering will reset, and new entries will begin from “1”. You can refer to the video for a step-by-step guide on how to complete this process.

If you need any additional help, feel free to reach out. We’re happy to assist!

Hello. Sorry for the delay in giving feedback. The guide worked well to reset the consecutive ID numbering of the entries. On the other hand, I left my suggestion in the “Request a Feature” link, to see if in the future the option to have correlative ID numbering for specific forms is added.
Thank you very much for your attention.
