We have setup a number of item tracking projects to control our bug ids and have set the 'Require bug ID' option for the source control projects.
We now have to supply a valid bug id when checking in
![Razz :P](./images/smilies/icon_razz.gif)
However, we can enter any number in the field even if it is not valid
![Crying or Very sad :cry:](./images/smilies/icon_cry.gif)
Why is this the case?
Thanks
