Does Gravity Forms have a hook to set a custom entry ID on submission? I want the entries to have randomized IDs instead of sequential.

**Background:** I’m using Gravity Flow (and Gravity View) to display entries, which makes the entry ID visible in the URL and in the HTML code. To avoid leaking how many entries that have been submitted, I would like to assign all entries a random ID instead of a sequential one.

Hi Karl. I do not think there is a good way to do this in Gravity Forms. Have you thought about bumping up the entry IDs to start at some higher number, or, electing to not share the entry ID anywhere and instead use a unique ID like the one provided by Gravity Wiz?
