Is there a simple way to generate a unique human friendly reference number that we can display on the form and in the receipt email?
I can see in the backend that Umbraco creates a GUID as a unique ID for each form submitted but this isn't practical to use if the customer needs to contact us to chase progress.
The reference doesn't have to be sequential, just unique and easy enough for a non techy person to be able to use when contacting us with a query.

Hello Chris,
Did you ever get a reply or solution to this ? As this is exactly what I am trying to do in v7.

Hi Bal.
Unfortunately not. We've not really looked into it again since my OP.
It is something we'd still find quite handy though.
Cheers
