Hi,
I have a number of accounts and contacts that I imported from an external system and we decided to keep the same unique id as from the application that we came from, however this id is not in the UUID format. This works perfectly in SuiteCRM, except in the rest API where there is a hardcoded test for a UUID pattern in the file: Api/V8/Param/Options/Id.php. Iāve patched this by specifying my own regular expression but I want to know if there is a special reason why this test is included in the file? Is there a way that I can work around this test and still have my code upgrade proof?
Hi,
thank you for the swift reply, Iāve tried setting the $sugar_config[āstrict_id_validationā] to false but this doesnāt work for the V8 rest API.It seems that the problem is that the V8 rest API uses the ID validation from the file: Api/V8/Param/Options/Id.php
As far as I can see in this code it doesnāt validate the strict_id_validation as is done in the other code which uses lib/Utility/SuiteValidator.php to check for a valid ID.
Youāre right⦠maybe we should add the strict_id_validation check there, or simply make the regex more permissive.
This idea for using only UUIDs is really bad, I have asked about this more than once but I never saw a proper argument for its introduction. Makes migrations and integrations harder, breaks backwards compatibility for no good reasonā¦
