Is your feature request related to a problem?
There is no (easy/obvious) way to view the current Contest ID. And there is no way to change the contest ID.
...

Feature Description:

I think we need a way to allow modification and (easy) display of the current contest Id (internally called the Contest Identifier and stored in the Profile).

Right now, to see the contest ID, you can (and I only saw this by looking at the code - must be a Doug special) is to: Ctrl-Shift-Doubleclick the "Active ProfileName" LABEL. Yes, the label. The only way for people "not-in-the-know" to see what the contest ID is to look at one of the Reports, such as the "Contest XML" report.

<profiles contestid="Copy-5272909522774502478" currentprofile="true" description="Copy of Sumit" name="Copy" path="profiles\Pcc0fdab8-61a2-487e-965b-328e92f128ff" pc2id="Copy-5272909522774502478"/>
<profiles contestid="SumH" currentprofile="false" description="Default Contest" name="Default" path="profiles\P80bd31b6-55ca-4f9b-8484-f7cc23584201" pc2id="Default-2920137924903412731"/>

It would be nice if it showed the contest ID on the Profiles tab (First image below) and perhaps the Settings tab (Second image below) - without needing a special magic incantation. In addition, when you "Clone" a profile, a new ID is automatically created by the clone process called: "Copy-<big long unique ID". Maybe you should be able to specify the ID of the "new" cloned contest on the clone contest dialog (Third image below).
...

Have you considered other ways to accomplish the same thing?
The only ways to view the current contest ID is to generate a Report such as Contest XML, or, to look at the event feed.
There is no way to change the contest ID.
...

Do you have any specific suggestions for how your feature would be implemented in PC^2?
Update GUI tabs and dialog as discussed above and shown below.
