I have built quite a comprehensive form builder without the need for a UUID.
I am presuming you are storing these fields in a database, so you just make sure you use IDENTITY, and each field is unique. My form builder works thus. You select the type of form element you want to create (textarea, input, checkbox etc), give it a name, specify all the other parameters such as size, maxlength, javascript events etc. Then save it. All these details are saved in the database, and are always unique as the primarykey sets the field number. When you come to display your generated form fields, you then simply prepend the currentROW to the field_name to make sure it is unique. E.g. <cfoutput query="formfields"> <cfif fieldtype="textarea"> <textarea name="#currentRow#_fieldname">#default_value#</textarea> </cfif> </cfoutput> Easy.
