Comment #4 on issue 1380 by pekka.klarck: add support for [id] in test settings
http://code.google.com/p/robotframework/issues/detail?id=1380

Yes, autogenerated ids change depending on what suites and tests are executed. That obviously makes using them impossible in many cases.

The problem with unique tags should be resolvable by using `--TagStatExclude id-*`.

Yet another possibility assign an id to a test is adding it to the test case name or documentation e.g. like `My Name (#123)`.

I hope one of these solutions is good enough for your purposes. We have made a decision not to add id or other new metadata to test cases. The main reasons are:

- Big task to add to Robot. New data to parse and handle otherwise, needs to be shown somehow in logs and reports too.
- Should also be supported by RIDE and other tools.
- Tags and documentation can be used to specify free metadata already now.
- Specialized metadata would ease only certain use cases. Added complexity would harm everyone.
