Is this?a minor?change? - We like this customization also to the Incident ID -?Remedy?told me that in 7.x this is doable and the number can be increased later if necessary. Is this so?

The number one reason I would not do it just because the product is still evolving and a baby. BMC Remedy is constantly patching their ITSM products, or adding new functionality, and if what you do may get impacted is an unknown (depending on what they decide to patch or add to the products). Besides decreasing it from 15 to 12 isn't IMHO going to grant you a huge benefit, you just have your users trained to ignore the leading 0's and identify their incidents with the significant part of the ID. Base all your searches if you choose to customize the application that requires you to search on the incident, on that significant part. That way to the end users it doesn't really matter much. Yes it was a nice to have feature when it was more easily doable but the risks of doing it now is not really worth it..

In HPD:HelpDesk, we want to reduce the database input of the 'Incident ID' from 15 to 12.? We also plan to modify the Incident ID from 15 to 12 in the HPD Ticket Generation form.? Our team just does not want to see all of the INC 000000000027 - they want to to trim it down a bit.? We have done this before in AR 6.3.? Has anything changed in 7.x to prevent us?from doing this.?
