The 'ID' in the property editor is a unique identifier.
The Joget Workflow core uses this ID as a column name within the table associated to with the form (e.g. c_title in the figure above).
When a user enters a value in the field during a workflow process, the value is stored in that column.
If the ID has never been used in previous forms associated to the same table, a new column will be created.
If the ID, on the other hand, has been used before, that column will be used.
It is important to note that when someone enters a value when completing a form during a workflow process, that value will overwrite the existing one.

Take note of following IDs as these columns are automatically generated upon the creation of a new form. "dateCreated, dateModified, createdBy, createdByName, modifiedBy, modifiedByName" on the form element's ID attribute. Please take note upon submission of the form, these fields will be updated automatically. |

We recommend the use of snake case (i.e. first_name) as this is the standard database naming convention. The ID declared will be part of the database table column name. |
