Overview

Use ID when the value must be unique across all records of the object: external system identifiers, ticket numbers, SKU codes. Custral enforces uniqueness at write time.

Configuration

Give the prefix at least two characters. GitHub matches this prefix in branch names, pull request titles and descriptions to link a pull request to the record it names. A prefix shorter than two characters, or none at all, opts the property out of that matching: the pattern would be “any run of digits”, so every pull request carrying a number would attach itself to a record. See GitHub.

What it stores

A single short identifier, unique across every record in the object.

Filtering

Equals, does not equal, starts with, ends with, is empty, is not empty.

Examples

A Tickets object that needs a stable, human-readable identifier per record. An external CRM’s record id mirrored back into Custral.
