Option to manually set linkId for a question

[whollervi]

In the previous version of the form builder one needed to set a unique linkId for every question. The new version automatically generates linkIds, which is great.

We have code that prepopulates a form based on linkId, value pairs and therefore it would be nice to have the ability to manually set more meaningful linkIds in the form editor. For example, one option could be to make the linkId available again (already prefilled with a UID) under "Advanced fields". Don't know how complicated this is to implement, but wondering if others might also miss the linkId in the new form editor.

Thanks for mentioning that. You are not the only one to want to specify that field's value and it has been on our list to add back. I will try to adjust the priorities so we get to it sooner. I agree putting it under "Advanced fields" is a good place.
