Defect ID in quality center

[bizzzzzare]

Hi Deepika,

what you stated is correct. Defect ID cannot be masked as I guess it would be a Mandatory field in Defects Tab.

Also as you stated, defect Id would only show the next number in continuation to the last value for every New Defect addition.

I would suggest hence, to create a New user-defined field and name it as FaultID, BugID and follow the above suggested methodology. You can initialize this field to start from 1. Though Defect Id would also be reflected, you can request the client to Ignore the same and consider Fault ID as the primary field.

Whenever you export the Defects to Excel, hide the Defect ID field so that atleast the excel sheet would not reflect duplicate ID's.

Cheers...
