Does Coda have Record ID's?

[Donald_Wilson]

I’m new to Coda coming from Airtable and Smartsuite. In those platforms you can generate unique record id to retrieve a row from a table. I use n8n as my automation platform and I’m trying to get a row instead of all rows.

I haven’t seen a way to generate a record id, just a row number. When I choose the row id in n8n I get an error message. Is there a way to retrieve the “id” as show in the image I attached? Thanks.

You can get that id using this formula: split(thisRow+'',"/").Last()

Short answer: not unique Long answer: all of the IDs (table, view, column, row, page, line etc) are generated through a regular random upon creation of an object. 10 characters are sufficient to call it a good random. The IDs are created on the client side so potentially there is a little risk of collision but it’s negligible IMO. However, when you copy a doc, all object IDs are cloned as well into the new doc, not regenerated. And when you duplicate a table within a doc, all c…

Hope this helps,
