Scott Gray commented on OFBIZ-8343:
-----------------------------------
I'm confused by the intent of this patch because OFBiz doesn't generate UUIDs for id columns, it generates sequenced numbers. So why would we globally change the length of a field that ultimately won't contain auto-generated UUIDs without customization?
Additionally, we have the id-long field type which a user can switch to for specific tables if they want to use a different type/length ID.
Lastly, certain tables have no need whatsoever for UUIDs (status, type, enumeration etc.) so it doesn't make sense to make this a global field-type change.
> Make data type field length of id fields accept guid ids
