Safe to change Transaction ID?

I noticed that the Transaction ID field is showing now when editing a registrant; is it safe to change that to something else? In our case, we're accepting checks using the offline payment plugin and would like to edit a registrant to enter the check number in the Transaction ID field.

Out of curiosity, is there any issue with changing the PayPal transaction ID when editing a registrant? We're not needing to, just curious for future reference. Didn't know there was any interaction between PayPal after the transaction has been completed?

Thanks!

Hi Brian

Yes. You can change the Transaction ID to the number / string you want. It doesn't affect the extension at all. That transaction ID (PayPal for example) can be used for searching for a registration record if you know Transaction ID and vice versa. Actually, it is just used to keep the relationship between a registration record and a payment only.

So if you want to change it, just go ahead
