Hi Nigel,
I'm afraid not. You can change the submission ID numbering using the Submission ID Manager module, but not the form IDs. May I ask, why is this needed? I've never had this request before!
You could do this with the Submission Pre-Parser module. That lets you run arbitrary code when submissions are added and updated. What you would need to do is create a new field for "Age", then add a Pre-Parser rule to automatically populate that based on the DOB field value. This would take a programmer to figure it out, though: that module was written for developers to do custom stuff like this.
How do you mean exactly? Code that would actually be executed, or just stored in the database? If the latter then yes, they can just use a textarea field in your form, and then display the code using the "Code / Markup" field type (2.1.0 only).
Interesting... so, like a new field type (called, say "List Table" or something) which would add them to a list, each with a little "x" next to it to remove it. I like it! This is actually totally do-able with 2.1.0 - it would just need a bit of legwork, and access to the (not yet released) Custom Fields module. Yeah, that's a really nice idea. I may do that!
