Hello,

 

Is the result of the function @uuid() the same as the transformer UniqueIdentifierGenerator ?

I would like to create directly an UUID in an attribute creator instead of using 2 transformers (UniqueIdentifierGenerator and AttributeCreator).

 

Thanks.

Essentially yes,

If it helps, I use it all the time in attribute creators to create gml_id’s.

Usually in the form of: 

ID_@UUID()

the rest of the stuff in the function isn’t needed
