Update other properties of entity besides label

Is there a way to update other properties of entity beside label? I am trying to link submission id with entity. So i created a property name submission_id in dataset and entities. I need a way to update it when submission is made. Any help would be appreciated.

Welcome @sujanadh!

You can update any property by specifying its name in the save_to column of your XLSForm. See the documentation for more details.

You could do this by specifying submission_id in the save_to column for a calculate field with calculation ${instanceID}:

type name label save_to calculation
calculation this_sub submission_id ${instanceID}

However, before you do this, I recommend that you review In analysis, how can I connect an Entity registration form's submissions to follow-up form submissions? for some alternative ideas.

If you say more about your desired way to use the data you're collecting, we can explore the best approach for your case.
