texte = Hi,Still flailing away learning WebCat 3 (5.0 will be out before I learn it at this rate :)The Question: How do I get a unique SKU to be automatically generated when using an append context or command? The Details: I'm building a simple contact database application. I've used the Database Helper as a starting point, and I've got most of it working. Editing & deleting records works great. I've got it sorting things nicely. The light is dawning. But...Append context. When adding records to the contacts.db, the SKU should be generated on the fly -- as a unique character string -- by WebCat. How do I do this? I tried passing in the form, but this enters %5Bsku%5Dinto the SKU field -- not exactly what I'm looking for... (I realise the field doesn't need to be visible to pass the value, but it's the same result -- I get a new record okay, but the SKU is always %5Bsku%5D).
