Build Forge increments build tag by 2 on next build. Is it a bug or a known issue?

I am currently having problems as to why Build Forge at times increments the previous build tag by 2 when I start a new job. I haven't found any related problems as to why this is happening. Can anybody enlighten me as to why this is happening?

You may want to review your projects tag setting under the Tag tab for the project properties to be sure that the auto-increment setting is set and the build number is the expected value.

Next, verify if this project is tag-synced to another project, which will also be under the Tag tab.
If another project/library is tag-synced to the project in question, it should be listed on the lower-left hand pane with all other objects connected to the project in question.
Note though, that the lower-left hand pane will also list any projects/libraries that are connected to the project in question via inline or chain.
So, you may have to review any that are listed.

Lastly, review your Build Forge engine log and verify if your project build number "n" and "n-1" were started around the same time or if build number "n-1" was started at all.

 Hello,

In the bf_builds table there is a bf_tag column. Make sure that column is set to auto_increment by 1. 

Are you able to change the build tag once it shows up. Say it shows up as 4 but this build is really 2. You can't use 2 since the first build would have been 2 but can you change it to 3?

Thanks!

 My mistake, the bf_tag value is a character and not an integer. Please use Joshes suggestions. Much more likely and less invasive.
