Is it possible to manually set Work Item ID in Team Foundation Server 2010?

Is it possible to manually set Work Item IDs in Team Foundation Server 2010?

When I put the id field on the work item layout it's automatically set as readonly.

No it is the identifier of the workitems and cannot be changed.

If you want to have a reference number (for e.g. another ticketing system), then add a new field. If you want to start with a certain value, then create first n dummy work items to reach that number: http://blog.hinshelwood.com/archive/2010/10/20/tfs-2010-work-item-seed-tfs-work-item-system.id-at.aspx
