I understand CommCare creates a unique ID for each case once those are
created. However, its length and complexity constraint data analysis.
I would like to create a custom made unique ID by combining various part of
data collected.
An example could be the ID "SA17AG146" built as following:
SA17: group name
AG: Initial letter of the name and surname
146: last three digits of the phone numbers
These are all information captured in the form but must be extracted to
create the ID, would it be possible?
Thank you very much.
