Tasks and issues will have an auto-generated unique ID with a prefix. Unique IDs are efficient to track, identify, and search tasks. Also, you can # mention them in feeds, status, and comments to specify tasks.
- You can enable/disable the Task ID in Portal configuration. Learn more
- You can edit the task prefix when you edit a project. Learn more

Once a task is deleted, the Task ID number of that task will also be deleted. All Task IDs are unique, a deleted task ID will not be reused for subsequent tasks.
