Any recommended ways to get the nid of a node you just submitted in a subform to pass into the next subform?

The use case (WSF2008) is two forms merged into one, which are related in such a way (nodereference, a node belonging to an organic group) that the second form needs a value that exists only after the first form is processed.

So the question involves
1) setting the order subforms are submitted
2) obtaining information post-submit for the first one
3) passing that information into the array representing the second one before it is submitted

no, getting the nid isn't supported by normal forms either. try using nodeapi op insert/update to get the nid.

@order: the forms should be processed in the order they appear in the form tree
2,3) it doesn't provide anything for that, but it should be possible to achieve it - however it might get unclean and complicated.

I was looking to do something similar i.e. redirect the user to a new page and depending on the input show some info depending on the node and especially the node nid of the submitted node.

My direct intuition was as I know who the user is and I know which node type being submitted, I can just make a call to the database and get latest node submitted from that user. In the case of a anonymous user submitting a node I couldn't figure out a good approach but I am guessing you could just add a hidden field or something to look for in the node.
