** Not sure what you're going to use the Request ID for, but you could use the GUID instead:
It's applied to the entry BEFORE submit. For example, you could submit a related entry in another form, passing it the 'parent GUID' Instead of the 'parent Entry_ID'.

My question is the following, when I would like to create a new entry on a form, the Request ID field is empty until you submit this entry. What I wanted to know is if it is possible to know this number before submitting the entry so that I can use it in a Active Link... I tried to use the keywords $LASTID$ and incremented it but I have some strange result because he gave me a value of "000000000000001" sometimes and even I think it's quite complicate. Any better idea ???
