Need ID Field Adjusted

[randomblink]

We are using the GeoForm to allow Addresses to be entered in our Addressing DB from one department while another department adds addresses through a completely different system. The other department is using a system that generates an ID field through a third party system for workorder / permitting purposes. We would like the GeoForm addresses to have a unique ID generated FROM the GeoForm. Preferrably something simple such as making each ID number be in the 4 million range...

For Example... Other Department : Address ID = 390233 GeoForm : Address ID = 4000023

Is this possible? How?

@randomblink each entry in a feature layer gets an objectid. Why not use the objectid?

What datatype is the field? Could you just use "GF"+objectid so you dont risk duplicates where the objectid matches the ID for something entered via the workorder system?

Can I do that inside the GeoForm? Where would I do that?

The field I would need to put this in is the SITEADDID field. "GF" + OBJECTID Preferably padded to 6 digits? That would be perfection.

How would I adjust the SITEADDID entry through the GeoForm?

[randomblink]

I've tried the following:

"name": "SITEADDID", // field id "alias": "Site Address ID", // label "fieldDescription": "The ID of the address point", // Help text "visible": false, // show this field? "typeField": false, // subtype field? "tooltip": "", // placeholder text "displayType": "text", // text, checkbox, radio, textarea, url, email "defaultValue": "GF1000", "locked": true

Just trying to see if I can get GF1000 added as the SiteID for this address point... nothing.

If I make the field visible then it works and generates the entry I set the defaultValue to. If I make the field visible, it doesn't matter whether I set it to LOCKED or not, it can be changed... but if it is left alone it does work as desired... But this requires the end user to follow instructions... I NEVER RELY ON THE END USER TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS...

HELP!

Can you use some JavaScript to identify the field and set its input to disabled and maybe add the bootstrap disabled class to it?

[randomblink]

This worked

"name": "SITEADDID", // field id "alias": "Site Address ID", // label "defaultValue": "GF" + new Date().getTime(), "locked": true, "fieldDescription": "The ID of the address point", // Help text "visible": true, // show this field? "typeField": false, // subtype field? "tooltip": "", // placeholder text "displayType": "text", // text, checkbox, radio, textarea, url, email

Thank you all.
