David, There was one version, I think when moving from 4 to 4.5 or somewhere thereabouts, where Remedy Engineering accidently used the starting non-reserved range 536,xxx,xxx that messed up some customizations that were done using that starting non reserved field ID's. Since that time my personal preference was never to use that, even if it is a trim field (line, box, text) you are creating.. Until then I happily used that range for those kind of fields. With the introduction of shared workflow, choosing your field ID's became even more important even for some trim fields like text fields.. So my personal preference was to use the 800,xxx,xxx to 999,999,999 range but I see nothing wrong with starting from 600,xxx,xxx... Choosing this higher number deliberately, you can almost guarantee yourself that an accidental intrusion by BMC Softwares engineers on the 536,xxx,xxx in any future patches or releases will not impact your customization.. There is hardly a chance they would use the 600,xxx,xxx to 999,999,999 range deliberately..

Is starting at 600,000,000 just a convention people in the ARS community have chosen, or is there a real risk of running into a problem by starting at the 536,xxx,xxx range the system will use by default if you're creating a new form? According to KA315200, a field range of 536870913 to 2147483647 can be used for ARS 7.1 and 7.5.
