Is there a way to make task id simple positive integer? about vscode-kanban HOT 6 OPEN

Yes a small integer task Id would be good but currently Id has itself some other information in it which is needed to identify the card details so it will be better to add another field to search the card.

Sorry for the late answer, but I had now time to implement the feature in version 1.22.0.

There is a new setting, called simpleIDs, which indicates to use simple integer values as IDs and is (true) by default.

There is not a bug, but a small "issue":

If you have existing cards, which have IDs like 20180531184916_11696734_e0f09d02db244a4db9409fe5b53e7bc1, you should remove all id properties from all entries in your .vscode/vscode-kanban.json file and save your board manually (by "save" button the upper right corner of the WebView), otherwise the next ID, that will be used is something like 20180531184917.

If you create a new board, that "issue" will not appear.

Great. Good to know that. This issue can be closed or whatever you want.
Do you have plans to improve the UI for it?

Do you mean a better look?

Yes.

I think it can be shown now along with the task name on board (in case it is integer).
So that one could copy/paste it right from board task to commit field.
