Set Custom Task ID prefix and starting index
When you enable Custom Task IDs for a Space, you'll be prompted to set the task ID prefix and starting index.
Task ID prefixes will always be in all caps. Only alphanumeric characters and underscores are supported. The starting index must be a number greater than 0.
Tasks will be assigned the new Custom Task ID based on their date created, from oldest to newest.
For example, you enter a prefix of CLK
and a starting index of 1
. The oldest task in the Space will use the Custom Task ID: CLK-1.
