UI - remove leading zeros from protected area IDs #334

Open janemoxd opened 10 months ago

janemoxd commented 10 months ago

We do not need to display leading zeros as a part of our IDs. These should be removed from the UIs.

e.g., Arrow Lakes Park ID can be displayed as 308 (instead of 0308 as we currently display it).

AC:

Notes:

After conversations with Glenna and Rob, it become clear that leading zeros should not be displayed.

Glenna: They don’t perform any function, but they are displayed in PAR. A holdover from the past. Mark: Only a display thing, leading zeros are not captured in the database. Rob: I personally don't see the need to display the leading zeros - they serve no purpose, as far as I can see.  I think they were only there because they were traditionally a portion/component of a larger code that had a very specific number of characters.  I have never displayed them with anything I've set up and they're not included in the CMS and I don't think it serves a purpose at this point.  I would be happy to see them removed. Decision: Do not display leading zeros. Created ticket to remove them from Protected Areas.

as per Jess on ticket #238, removal of leading zeros is approved but not urgent
