Reset teamcity.build.id?

Question

Is it possible to reset the teamcity.build.id value in teamcity?

I'm able to reset the build.counter value easily in the build configuration, but I haven't found anything to reset teamcity.build.id.

Answer 1

There is no way to reset build id, because it is used to identify related records in database storage. Resetting it would ruin your build history.

Answer 2

Starting from TeamCity 8.0 build IDs are editable, so you can assign whatever value you want (of course they must be unique). It provides you also a "Bulk Edit" feature. More info here.
