    the reason is that, I am aware the standard jotform setup is for people to send the same form to anyone to submit and each submission will be new records (on Salesforce). However, what we are trying to do is that, if we have 1,000 exhibitors, we want to manage the 1,000 exhibitor info on both jotform and Salesforce. So we dont need to worry how many submission each exhibitor submitted, the latest submission will always update to the corresponding exhibitor info record on Salesforce. We can created an unique ID for each exhibitor record on Salesforce. But we dont know how to do that on jotform. Please let us know the best practice. Thanks.

    Hello esvesv,

    Creating a unique ID for each submission in Jotform can be achieved using the Unique ID widget. This widget automatically generates a unique identifier for every form submission, which can be useful for tracking and managing entries. Here's how:

    1. Click on the Add Form Element button on the left side of the screen.
    2. Go to the Widgets tab and search for Unique ID.
    3. Drag and drop the Unique ID widget into your form.
