How Perforce change list number works?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Perforce assigns numbers to changelists and also maintains a default changelist, which is numbered when you submit it. You can create multiple changelists to organize your work. For example, one changelist might contain files that are changed to implement a new feature, and another changelist might contain a bug fix. Changelists are renumbered so that submitted changelist numbers always ascend in chronological order.<\/p>\n

Pending numbered changelists might be renumbered when they are submitted to ensure that submitted changelist numbers are always ascending in chronological order. For example, if changelist A is submitted before changelist B, then changelist B’s number will be higher when it is submitted.<\/p>\n

Perforce change list numbers are serial. Once a CL number has been assigned via a submit, only the next number in series will be used.<\/p>\n

One way this could happen is that you had pending work in CL 326042 and something in your default and the latest submitted CL is 326041.<\/p>\n
