Improve the custom ID numbers

[Jack_Cavicchi]

It would be very helpful for our system to:

1. Start task ID numbers at a certain number and/or specify the number of digits.
2. Have ID numbers incorporated into Forms, so users receive a number when submitting a form.

Start task ID numbers at a certain number

Custom ID field - ability to start number sequence from a particular number

The recently launched custom ID field is great, but having tried it out, it appears it is currently not possible to start the number sequence of an ID field from a particular number. For example, it would be great to be able to set a number sequence to start from 1000 instead of 1, or for users that are migrating into Asana, they could seamlessly continue their IDs in Asana from a particular ‘ticket’ number from their previous source of truth. Hoping this will be added as a quick follow-up, so…

specify the number of digits.

Custom ID field - ability to format numbers to display in X number of digits

The recently launched custom ID field is great, but having tried it out, it appears it is currently not possible to format the way in which numbers appear, regarding the amount of digits. For example, it would be great to be able to set ‘4 digits’ as the preferred display format, so that the ID numbers would start as 0001, instead of currently displaying as 1. Hoping this will be added as a quick follow-up, soon!
