When designing an HTML form, or xForm, is there a way to pre-populate the field in the form with the next consecutive number for that observation type? We're evaluating entering our blood bank data into OpenMRS. One of the fields to be entered is the serial number for the bag of donated blood. Every year the serial number starts over at 1. The bags don't have a serial number printed on them, but it's written on by hand. In the current patient registry it's easy to look on the line above and see what the last serial number was, and what to write on the bag. In the patient form, it's not so easy anymore. I suspect the clerks would have trouble keeping track of the last serial number, and I would like the form to be able to do that for them. Since the serial number is not patient specific, I doubt the <lookup> tag would work. Is there perhaps a way to do this with JavaScript? Any suggestions for this complex problem.
