We have a work item type 'Project'.
Need to Change the Work Item id of ‘Project’ work item type
whenever a new Project work item is created, Instead of system generated work item id, we want a customized id.
The id should be of the format YYXXX (where YY is the Year and XXX is the number starting from 001 and incrementing it)
Is it Possible? |

I doubt this can be done. The ID is stored in the database as an Integer, not a string.

I second Kevin,
the ID is managed by the repository. You can normally not select it yourself. If you try, you could get into real trouble. I would suggest to use a custom attribute to store an "ID" in the format you want. See https://jazz.net/library/article/1093 lab 4 and 5 for approaches that would allow this. |
