Dear Sir/Madam,

I add a generic field, I want to have custom javascript to manage this, I find the element id is changed very time, is it possible to assign an element id to the generic field?

There's no way to apply a static ID, but you can use the "class" attribute to apply a custom CSS class or you can use the CSS name attribute selector to target the field.

[cred_generic_field type='select' field='some-generic-field-slug' class='some-static-css-class']
...
[/cred_generic_field]

JavaScript selectors:

var input = jQuery('.some-static-css-class').first()
// or
var input = jQuery('input[name="some-generic-field-slug"]').first()
