Weird transposed 'pairs' of digits when comparing API to GUI

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for reaching out to the Sophos Community Forum. 

The discrepancy appears to be related to a change that occurred in the Sophos Central back-end. The format in which values are stored was changed from Ruby to Java.

Using a conversion tool along with the ID's returned via the API allowed me to confirm this. I'll reach out to our team internally to inquire if there are any plans to make changes to Sophos Central API to fix the discrepancy. 

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. 

Hello Qoosh 

I know this is a year old thread but this is still occurring AND was present at least 2 years previous to this report as found here:

Did the internal team have a response? 

Hi Dalton,

When inquiring previously, I was advised that this is a result of the different data sources used for Sophos Central API and the Sophos UI. 

At the time, we did not have any immediate plans to update this, as the work required to align the two is quite significant. I've followed up with our team to see if this has since changed.
