I hope that this is not already posted. I am thinking of using this for my project and I noticed that if you click the add issue button and then cancel it it will still increment the issue number. This is true through the latest alpha.
It's not exactly true. The reason you observe this is that the same identifiers are used not only as issue numbers but also for comments, attachments and other changes. So, for example, if you create issue #100 with three changed attribute values, these changes will take the three next identifiers and the next issue will be #104.
The limit is 2^31, i.e. 2,147,483,648. Assuming that there are 100 users and each performs 1000 operations every day, there will be enough IDs for 58 years.

Michal,
Is there a limit regarding the numbers of ID ?
Thank you

That should do it :)
Thanks
Ok,
I see that now. I was just trying to figure out why a new issue would not have an incremental number.
