When using the VCI and GIT with a team, the best way is to use fixed number range for each group of functionality. Otherwise after each compile by any teammate, many blocks are changing unessesarrywise all time. This makes tracking of changes in the generated XML files unneccessary hard.

Its would be very nice, if sytem resources would be renumberable. At least I did not find a way in TIA18 UD3 and UD4 - I hope the forum can help.

The work around with deleting and reinsert by compiling works, but still it would produce numbers out of the predefined sceme.
Is there realy no way to change the numbers?

Split from TIA v13 Can you change the number of a system block?.

 Hi Lipote. 

Not exactly answering your question, but have you tried to work with multiuser servers instead of VCI? I find it much better, mainlly if you are workng with more people. With multiuser you can do the commits and see the locked blocks on the project tree. And you can also use it in comissioning mode during the startup to manage downloads. And it keeps some versions buffered in case you want to restore it. 
I think it is worth to check it out if you havent yet.
