Lyle, IMHO there are at least 2 different ways how new fieldids are generated. It depends on the type of field you're adding to a form. Character fields initially have a blank fieldid and after saving the form the fieldid gets populated with a fieldidvalue according to the value of nextfieldid. If you add a tablefield-column the fieldid gets set by the Admintool. If someone created a column with fieldid 666666666 the next column gets fieldid 666666667, but nextfieldid in arschema remains its value. Same behaviour applies to pageholders and its pages. Kind Regards Conny

In our environment, we do not ever directly update the database, so I don't think this is what happened here. It appears to have changed just as a result of modifying the form. Now, I did manually enter field IDs for many of the fields as I was adding them to the forms (to make them match custom fields on other forms as well as ITSM fields that I was pulling data from). Additionally, I copied and pasted some fields from other forms (such as the Company field from HPD:Help Desk). Could either of those have reset the nextFieldID counter to a higher value?
