UUID Generator
Overview​
Use the UUID generator transform to create a universal unique ID (UUID) in the form of a 36-character string.
Other Considerations
There is no uniqueness checking in this transform - the underlying code is written to provide a 1 in 68,719,476,736 chance of creating a string that actually collides with another string within the tenant, so the generated UUID's uniqueness is very likely, but it is not guaranteed.
