Hello all,

We have some object numbers entered wrongly by an intern who confused 1 with I for about a hundred entries. I would like to just edit it directly in SQL Server using the Object Number column. However, I do see that there are other columns that use run off the Object Number. For example, SortNumber is an edited version of ObjectNumber, as is SearchObjectNumber.

Would it be a terrible idea to edit these three fields in SQL Server directly, or are there are caveats and other places that use ObjectNumber and it would cause a distressful mess? 

Is there anything anyone does specially?

TMS does have a "change object number" option but that is per object/ entry and would take us ages to do one by one.
