Hi, confirming if this is a bug or if it is not supported - I am unable to save and reload take item 0 from an XML. When I go to import it, it shows as item 0, but in the sequencer it imports to 9910400. Any ideas? Thank you

I tried 12.4 6106 and 12.0 5967 and saw different behaviors with Take Item 0000 - all bad!  
Fast Recall does not work on it either, I wonder if RossTalk commands will work on it,  
Either way, its a bug and we will fix it or make it so that you can’t assign 0 to a Take ID.

Somewhat related, I think I found another issue with Take Item Numbering. The Copy Sequence Item to ID window seems to have a digit limit of 6 digits. Attempting to enter anything with 7 digits or more inserts (for example, 1005121) the new take item at 999999. Despite the fact that the sequencer supports more than 6 digit take IDs. It also looks like pressing that copy function on an existing 7 digit or more item will insert it into that dialog box at 999999 anyways.
