Correspondence ID

[edavisonH7JF7]

Currently, the Correspondence ID in Autodesk is auto-generated and cannot be modified or hidden. This creates challenges when logging documents that need to be forwarded to external users, especially when those documents follow a predefined numbering system.

For example, if a user creates a Correspondence Type for CCD (Construction Change Directives) and wants the Correspondence ID to match the CCD number, Autodesk does not allow this. Since CCDs may not always be issued sequentially, the inability to customize the ID causes confusion.

Suggested Improvements:

1. Allow Manual Input for Correspondence ID – Users should be able to enter or adjust the ID to align with existing document numbering systems.
2. Enable Hiding of Correspondence ID – If modifying the ID is not feasible, an option to hide it when sharing externally would help reduce confusion.

That would be helpful for us to be able to modify the correspondence ID.

Most client has a naming/numbering convention for Correspondence. Being able to pick up this same structure will help users to easily keep track of what is going where, and who is saying what about it. This makes adoption easier for users, especially commercial users that generally have to keep track of corro between ACC and client system corro as well.

The Correspondence ID should be extended and should not be limiting to 4 characters. This request should be implemented as soon as possible.
