    Hi Bryan,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Unfortunately, the Unique ID widget is hidden by default and there's currently no option to show it. Keep in mind that it generates its value only when you submit the form, not when it's loaded. But if you wish to have a similar function to Unique ID widget, you can use the Random Value Generator widget. This widget shows a unique value on the form as it generates the value when the form loads. But, it doesn't generate sequential numbers, just unique random ones.

    If that’s not exactly what you’re looking for, can you explain a bit more so I can help you better?
