what is an api id value

what is an api id value

Wekan / General · January 23, 2020 at 9:42pm (Edited 4 years ago)

in most apis the id is a 36 word value place holder for e 32 hexadecimal value. the values I get back from wekan are not hex. they are cap lower and cap upper case alpha only at 17 letters. First ,is my description correct? Second is there any macro-definition beyond 17 character alpha text? I am setting up dbs. Is there any chance these may change in the near future?

In my opinion it might be a meteor / mongodb thing.

    Each "row" in database has _id , that is some length of alphanumeric characters. When new board is imported to Wekan, it gets new _id:s for it's items.
