Display a unique ID for Tasks

-- Display a unique ID for Tasks --
In our current system (not ScrumWorks), we use task notes to capture source code changes made to address tasks. To enable that, developers enter the unique ID of the task when committing the files. The list of changed files and their versions are then automatically added as a note to the task, and our code reviews and testing key off of those notes. Tasks in ScrumWorks, however, do not present a UID to the user so it's not possible to replicate that integration.

    I have some questions .

    1)what is the unique value for a task is it task id?
    2)can a task id can be assigned to another existing task after deleting the task which it was pointing to?
    3)what is the significance of rank and task rank field?

    This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled
    is Task id unique for a task.

    e.g. happy, confident, thankful, excited kidding, amused, unsure, silly sad, anxious, confused, frustrated indifferent, undecided, unconcerned

  • Hi Velociitee,

    Currently there is no unique ID for tasks, and I have merged this topic into a previously requested idea to add unique identifiers for tasks because I believe that fulfilling this idea is the best way to answer your questions.

    My understanding of questions 1) and 2) is that tasks have no unique value. I don't have any information on what getID and setID do however so I will need to run this by the development group for a more definitive answer.

    Edit: I just received some answers about questions 1) and 2):

    "1) It is the id field of TaskWSO in the API.

    2) Theoretically yes, but it’s extremely unlikely."

    As to question 3) I believe that refers to the rank of the task in relation to the other tasks associated with the parent PBI.

    sorry for the previous comment understood that id field and id are the same so just please ignore that comment...I am not sure I completely understood about the uniqueness about the task ID

    I just have one more question now.

    After being created can the task id of a task change if yes what are the possible ways for a task to get its task id modified either in to another existing task id or assigning new task id ..

  • Hi Velociitee,

    From what I can find the task ID shouldn't change since it is just something that is assigned to the task on creation. I don't have any information on how setId(java.lang.Long id) would work on the task, I don't have any information on the use of setId however.
