Is it possible to automatically generate a UUID in the 32-character format (927c59a6-c261-146f-1f08-5ddaffa5776c) when adding a new row to a database? If so, how can this be implemented?

Thanks for the suggestion, I found another way to do it directly from my database, but Glide’s unique identifier is not UUID, it won’t generate 32 character format .

I don’t understand…I created the following using the Unique ID feature in Glide, which is a standard GUID (32 characters without dashes, 36 with dashes). It’s exactly what you showed in your example? Why is it not the same?
