Gregg County Marriage Records
In both Marriage Licence examples, the second set of numbers begins with a zero, but the Field Help says "Do not include zeros written at the beginning of a number. For example, "023" would be typed as 23." As I recall, Field Help overrides the PI. If this is the case, shouldn't the second set be 105 and 156, as well as anything else that starts with a zero?

@erutherford I think the rule is Project Instructions override the Field Helps because Field Helps are generally speaking and PI are specific to the project

I found the comment that mentions field help vs. PI.

In my opinion, the second set of numbers is a part of the whole number. It is just separated by dashes. Therefore, the only 0 that should be skipped is the first number. 04-0105-15 should be indexed as 4-0105-15.

in the Project Instructions examples, How to Index a Marriage License, Example 1 and 2, the number was: 04-0105-15
They showed it being indexed as:
1. Certificate or Record Number: 4-0105-15
The red box around the entry specifically excludes the first zero.
