Description

Hi,

I know this is an issue that has been discussed a lot but I would like to know if something has been done.

Is there a way to sequentially increment issue ids even if I work on multiple projects on the same Redmine instance ?
I want my projects issues increment like that :
Project 1 : issue #1,#2,#3
Project 2 : issue #1,#2,#3

Why ? Because it's very easy for the developers to get confused with the current issue id attribution.

Thank you very much for your answers.

Just the other way round, it would be a whole lot more confusing if issue ids weren't unique...

I agree with you Jan but if my client really wants a sequential id attribution, is there a way to make this happen ? A patch ?

None that I'm aware of, the ids are at the heart of redmine...

An issue can be moved between projects.
So the Id must be unique in my opinion.
If you need 'sequence' you can add custom field to handle it, but now you will have to enter values manually. It may be handled automatically if Feature #15177 would be implemented in some way.
