editing sequential card numbering

Question

Our sequential numbering has taken a very odd turn, we've just gone past

59999

and instead of becoming

60000

it has instead become

510000

which is very weird and seemingly nonsensical. I can't find any way of editing this, can anyone help please?

Thanks for sharing the root cause!

Hi Tobi,

I found the issue! Your reply prompted me to look through Power-ups and sure enough, there's one being used called "card numbers by reenhanced". Within that, there's an optional (and somewhat arbitrary) prefix number - which in this case is "5".

I inherited this setup from my predecessor and it appears that they've added the 5 prefix to link our job numbering to follow on from the sequence prior to using Trello, i.e. numbers beginning with "4".

I'm good from here.

best wishes

Mark

Hi @Mark Udall ,

Can you maybe share how you've constructed this increment process? I'm guessing you're using some custom field (not talking about card IDs)? Additionally, are you using automation or another method?

Cheers,
Tobi
