    Hi purchaserequest,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can pass the value of the Unique Id widget to the short text field using conditions so it will show up on the live form. Here's how you can set that up:

    1. In Form Builder and click on Add Element on the upper-left side of the page.
    2. Under the Basic tab, scroll down to the Short Text element and click on it to add it to your form. How to Show the Unique ID field on the Live Form? Image 1 Screenshot 50
    3. Create a condition to pass the value of the unique ID field to the short text field.

    a. In Form Builder, in the orange navigation bar at the top of the page, click on the Settings.

    b. In the menu on the left side of the page, click on Conditions, and then select Update/Calculate Field. How to Show the Unique ID field on the Live Form? Image 2 Screenshot 61
