i've created hidden fields in my form.. i was getting errors about my fields not existing and found out that my fields were named by mistake.. so, i did a cleanup, deleted all hidden fields (by dragging into the trash), then re-created the fields.. however, my original field ids cannot be used anymore as each of them are now appended with incremental numbers.. can anybody help me how to reset my field ids so to use my original ids instead??? thanks in advance!
Deleting form fields and adding new ones, even with the same text label, will cause the creation of new ids, as the new fields are not the old fields. Simply saving a form will not cause new field ids to be created.
If you need to recover an older version of your form ( and thus it's previous field ids ), you can do so by going to the 'revisions' tab for your form and 'rolling' back to a previous edit of your form.
when i said resetting the field ids, i meant that i want to use the old ids and not the newly created ones which has appended increments on them.. for instance, when i deleted tfa_MyField and eventually re-created the same name field, FA creates tfa_MyField1.. but i want to use tfa_MyField.. so i found out that after deleting the old field and saving the form and leaving the current page, i will be able to use my old id..
hope this is clear.. btw, thanks for your response!
