Can't reset build number

When I change the major/minor version number I also want to reset the build number. It works fine and the build number is saved. However, when the next build is triggered the previous build number (+1) is used. Is there a bug somewhere or am I doing it wrong =)

   Well, I think I know what's going on :)
   Not only version, but the original build number is saved into database with every build. There is a check right now for build number to be always unique for the given project. If you are trying to build with a build number that already exists AppVeyor will move the counter to a maximum build number ever used for this project.

   For example, if you had version 1.0.{build} then built 1.0.1, 1.0.2, 1.0.3, then changed version template to 1.1.{build} and reset build to 0. Next version will be 1.1.4. Is it what you have right now?

   Hi,

   Yep, that is exactly the problem I got :)

   Kind Regards

   OK, I will replace that "build number correction" algorithm with just build number uniqueness check + error. Will see how it goes.

   Hi Robert,

   We've just deployed AppVeyor update with build number check fixed! Let me know if it works for you!
