Interesting - I think there is a similar post here: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/20907/72560.aspx#72560

At least if I've understood what you are trying to do.

As to changing the value of "ID" - what are your specifications there? If you use a field as a counter as outlined in the link above, you could use that field in the name - and you would have part of a unique ID. Combine that with something else unique to the form - username, date and time, for example - I just don't know how human readable you need this.

If you want to try qRules - we have a command for generating GUIDs - then you'd have something truly unique.

Hi,

I'm working on a template that needs to post multiple, different "tracking IDs" to the same Sharepoint library with one click of the submit button. So, for example, let's say I have an input called "quantity." If I put 3 in that field and click submit, I'd like this to be created in my Sharepoint library:

ID1, ID2, ID3 all in the same column called "tracking ID," on 3 different rows. (Their names do not matter, and sequential numbering is not important. I just used that as an example -- all that matters is that the IDs are different.)

So far, i've only been able to accomplish submitting several items with the same tracking ID, but different names (that's easy, just create a rule on your submit button with multiple submit actions).

Can someone provide input on this? Thanks for your time.

General
