Carriers IDs incrementing in every save

[Wartin]

Hello.

Is it normal that every time I change some configuration in one carrier it changes its ID?. I've just edited one to change it's title and now its ID is 41, not 40 as before editing.

TB 1.1.x here.

Thanks

It is normal tb/ps behavior because orders are tied to carrier_id and if you change carrier info (like tracking link) and want to look at old order than you can get the carrier info from that time.

I really ate this behavior because I believe that the only thing matters in orders are the shipping price and this part already being saved in the order table.

Pushing up old thread.

Is there a way to make override for this, so after editing the current carrier would be updated and preserving same ID.

Why? Really, I mean why are you bother with something like this?

Well, it might be my OCD maybe 😂 🤣

I thought so 🙂

Yeah, it is irritating. But it does not hurt that much, database can take it. If we "fixed" this, who knows what would break. @yaniv14 is right -- the most important information is stored inside order/invoice tables anyway, so it would probably work fine. But there might be some corner cases when it would break things -- refunds, third party modules, etc...
