I assume you are referring to Fileman geenrated identifiers like

^DD(filenum,0,"ID",.05) = W "   ",$P(^(0),U,2)

I would not touch these at all: they are part of Fileman's domain. The
whole point of so-called write identifiers is to give the programmer an
opportunity to create custom identifiers. As a general rule, it's just
not a good idea to play around with code that is generated by Fileman.

If you go to the "Utility Functions" menu and choose "Identifier", you
will be prompted for a field. If there is already an identifier defined
for that field, Fileman will let you know and ask if you want to delete
it. Otherwise, it will generate an "ID" node similar to the above.
