Unique identifier for tasks in Project on the Web
Hi, my team and I have heavily been using Microsoft Project on the web (via Teams and web). One question that does come up, how can we find unique IDs for each task? This would be highly effectiv...
you can use the outline number or the WBS number it is a unique number within each project
Hi! The issue with that is the WBS number changes if you insert a task or move it’s location (that’s what I’m seeing).
For example you created a task and then midway in your project you add another task, or you need to move it it will effect the WBS. Also, another example if you finish a task, and then six month later you create a new similiar task and want to assign to someone and leave a note to look at the previous task, the WBS number won’t be an accurate number to use.
This is my understanding of course please do correct me.
