I have a form where the prepare form form builder just did not work. So instead I created a column of the fields I need and then copy pasted that column multiple times and resized the width of the column fields. I /thought/ this was giving the pasted column unique field names.
So now I'm in a situation where I have a hundred fields that all need unique names and I cant figure out how to do that without having to click each one and manually type in a name. I don't ever really care too much what the name is, just that they are unique so that when I input something into the field it isn't duplicated across the row.

Intersesting. Is there some way to auto size them to the table cells? That's the reason I was trying to use just the copy paste. To avoid having to manually resize and drag fields into the cells. In the table I'm working with, there are a lot of different sized cells that each need a field in them.
Usually this isn't a problem because the Prepare form works, but I can't figure out why it's not working for this one so I gave up and started doing it manually.

No, as a script has no way of reading the sizes of those cells if they are just a graphic element.

Resize one, then select them all, then right-click the one you resized and select Set fields to same size.
