I created the unique id:

Name: element_ID
Unique ID
Required
Control flags: Read-only

But Frame isn't inserting a value. Any ideas?

I have used FrameScript to do this for several clients. If you are interested, please contact me off list.

You can use the generate-id() function in XSLT to generate a unique ID. But within FM, you'd have to have an FDK plugin or FrameScript do that for you.

Thanks Scott. I did read that in the guidance. I wondered if there was another way, as I need a unique id to accomplish some magic for a xslt transformation. Any ideas?

Frame doesn't add the ID value automatically (unless you're making a cross reference to that element). This just the ID is required .. but you'll have to provide it.
