Setting Primary Key (`id` field) with fixtures

#1

Is there any way to explicitly set the id of an fixture entry? i
tried adding id: 1 to the attributes list in the .yml file, but it
seems to get ignored.

example .yml file:

default_user:
     id: 1
     name: Default User
     otherfield: stuff

nextuser:
etc..

What do you mean 'get ignored'? What happens that makes you think so?

Best regards,
