Display internal Entity member ID

Fabian Thoma

1. What is your idea?

The Idea is, to display in the entity section of the database the internal ID of Entity members.

2. What specific problem are you trying to find a solution to, or what new scenario would this idea respond to?

Board technology saves any selection on entity members on the internal ID of
the entity element (not the entity code). To compare e.g. the DEV and PROD System regarding the internal ID and the selections, it would be helpful to see the internal ID. Also to see if the internal ID is “consitent” or if there a gaps (e.g. due to manual deleting).

The information would help a developer in analizing and also restoring.

3. What workaround have you found and used so far (if any)?
Extract Entity and use “sort by none” will show the internal order of the entity members. But you can not see and extract the internal ID of the entity member and if there might be a gap.

this quick enhancement could save a lot of time for developpers!

Alternatively, it might make sense to switch the approach of remembering selections on internal IDs to selections on entity codes.
