I know it's supposed to be configurable, as you indicate. My question is, has anyone done it? And does doing it break anything? I understand that if it's configurable you would expect that it *shouldn't* break anything, but the key word is "shouldn't."

The latter is used by all integrations to include Incident creation by the CAI Plugin for the Requester Console/SRM. I would expect that the prefix is actually set there, at the time of generation.
