Hello all. First of all I would like to wish you a healthy and successful new year.
I have a small question, I hope someone had this problem before. I need the unique ID which is automatically assigned when a record is saved. I can select this ID in a text-item as an object and this is also displayed, but I need the ID in an input field. I tried to read the text-object with getContent(), but that doesn't work. Although setContent() works fine to set Content.
Maybe someone of you has an idea with which command I can access the IDfor an Input-Field.
Thanks a lot!

The Line ID is assigned as the record is inserted into the database, therefore it will only ever be known after the record has moved from the Start stage.
Unfortunately we have not made it easy to access that item because it was never really intended to be used by you. There has been much confusion about that Line ID over the years (because sometimes there can be gaps - we reserve 20 at a time and if a db connection is recycled anything we reserved is thrown away (i.e. not used)). This has led people to think that submissions are missing or lost, which is not the case.
When the document loads, you could call a service that looks up the same document by UUID and returns the Line ID into a field that you can then use.
That's it! Thank you very much!
Hi Christopher,
can you provide the name of service to use and an example?
We don't want the UUID (as f904d907...) but an incremental numbers ID (as 1, 2, 3,...33,...) of the record.
Thank you in advance.
