Kirby Structure ID is like [AutoID](https://github.com/helllicht/kirby-autoid) but for structure field entries. It uses a hook to add a unique hash to each entry. This plugin is useful if you need a permanent reference to structure items. Also see this [post](https://forum.getkirby.com/t/generate-a-random-unique-id-hash-for-a-structure-field-entry/6425/12).

Thank you for the plugin. I try to use it with a structure field in my panel options (`{host}/panel/options`), but I cannot get it to work properly.

It works fine on a default sub page, but when I try to add the the same structure field in the **panel options** it doesn’t add the ID after saving the page. I tried `(:all)` and `(:any)` in the `c::set('structure.id.data', []);` option , but even that fails…

The reason is that the plugin currently only uses a panel.page.update hook and not a site.update.hook, so updating doesn’t work for the $site object.

When I find the time, I’ll update the plugin.

This plugin doesn’t seem to be compatible with Kirby 3?

No, it isn’t. But [https://github.com/bnomei/kirby3-autoid](https://github.com/bnomei/kirby3-autoid) has incorporated this functionality
