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.

> Currently the length of id fields is limited to 20 characters. In order for these fields to accept GUIIDs the length should be increased to 32 characters.
